 I'm scared about posting this too, in case dots are connected! I don't know what else to do, I need help...

Long story short I did something *immaculately* stupid and posted something personal/identifying of a serious nature. Now I'm freaking out that someone in my life irl may have seen it and now knows something I do not want anyone I know to know. Chance of this having happened is *extremely* remote (everything related is gone and it was only up for max 24h, unlikely these people lurk reddit, especially the sub it was on. I did this fully confident in that, but the **Doubt** has crept in. Nobody's approached me about this, and I feel they might, given the content of the post. But what if they don't, to preserve my feelings? GAH.), but that tiny chance of it being possible has given me actual panic attacks. This has gone on for about a month now. I can't go on being paranoid.

I can't bring it up either, in case they *didn't* see. I am stuck in an obsessive loop here.

Do I keep trying to rationalize, or accept the fact they might know? Even thinking of doing that makes me dizzy...
