    Default Angry, scared, horribly anxious - need help or reassurance.

    I accidentally drank out of a cup that was half-assedly washed. Inside, there was a thin ring of coffee residue (like it sat there for awhile) near the bottom of the cup, & didn't realize it until I was through half of the cup of water.

    Even though this happened at like...7PM ish, I'm still having waves of anxiety/dread & completely irrational thoughts I can't block out. I'm also freaking about every feeling in my abdomen I get. I feel cruddy, but not sick. I'm afraid. I have some Penicillin left over from a dental abscess. I'm drinking Gatorade as of now.

    ...

    On top of this - I'm so pissed. Just yesterday, my mom scolded me & said that if I don't like the way she does dishes, I can do them all myself. I sometimes re-wash dishes that I think look or seem still dirty (sometimes I actually find stuff in/on them.) I guess I'll be doing my own damn dishes for now, & get yelled at for it.

    The second I trust her, I land myself up in this scenario. I don't know what to do!

    coffee and soda stains cups so it probably was clean but just stained . that being said, I also don't like dirty plates and dishes. can you buy disposable stuff like paper plates and cups?

    (If this comes up twice, I didn't see my reply.))

    It wasn't stained. I was able to wipe it away. I still feel anxious, but I realized a lot of time has passed. I think if I were to get sick from something

    When I get the money, I probably will start buying paper plates. Not so pricey, bio-degradable, saves on dish soap & water. Not only that, but some of the glassware & plates here are chipped. :/ I don't like eating off of them.

    this happens to me all the time (5 roommates who dk how to wash a dish properly) and it's always been fine. coffee is a hard thing to get off sometime. try not to worry

    I think I'm okay so far...just lingering anxiety & tiredness. I just ate a small snack, which is a pretty good sign. I guess I can just be really irrational at times. x_x
