I have such extreme anxiety over any electric anything, to the point where my heart rate picks up and I start sweating over having lamps on, plugging anything into outlets, or changing/handling batteries. It’s really difficult since it’s such a regular part of life, but I can’t help but keep ruminating on any possible dangers. Like, it sounds so silly, but I’m constantly anxious it’s going to explode or start smoking or catch on fire or spark or electrocute me or something.
Just got done calming down after having a panic attack earlier after finally building up the courage to exchange the batteries in an old camera and the flash started smoking and now I’m back into an ‘avoid everything that uses batteries/needs to be plugged in etc like it’s about to kill me’ mode. (Had to physically remove the camera from the area because I’m so scared of it and went around checking all the light bulbs and unplugging everything). 

Does anyone else struggle with this? Advice? I know it’s not as dangerous as my brain makes everything seem but I can’t help but overthink about it. I’m tired of going around making sure everything’s unplugged before being able to fall asleep or go out and being tense about thinking any outlet I see will start smoking or that wherever I am will have an electrical fire. I don’t even know how or why this started!
