So we have all the family round for Christmas. I’m currently in the toilet trying to self sooth a panic attack before I go back down as I don’t want my anxiety to mess it all up.

I have two sleeve tattoo’s along with my chest and back that I had done a few years ago. I stupidly just clicked on a link for an article about nano particles in the ink can escape into your body and can get into lymph-nodes and even the brain. 

Now I’m freaking out because I’m catastrophizing that my tattoo’s are the cause of my panic and derealisation because the ink is slowly making its way into my brain and will make it toxic to the point of no return. I feel so trapped because obviously I can’t get them off. They’re all over me. I know I’m probably just being stupid and over thinking it but I’m genuinely really scared right now I need some help to calm down 😢
