Hello,
Just a bit of background, I’ve suffered from health anxiety for quite a long time. It seems to be in cycles, and is triggered by random events.
Since last night, I’m struggling because of a new piece of furniture.
It’s a dresser purchased from Amazon.
The smell made me worried at first, but whilst putting it together there was a lot of white residue coming off (it’s a white piece of furniture).
I’m now extremely stressed and anxious that the residue coming off (the sort of stuff that comes off walls sometimes), is highly toxic and dangerous.
I haven’t slept properly because the anxiety is getting worse by the minute.
I tried to google to reassure myself but I can’t seem to find anything helpful (except the articles about how toxic the fumes are/ furniture production in the Far East isn’t monitored and they use chemicals and products that are awful for our health
)
Just here to see if anyone can help me out of this cycle...unfortunately I cannot return the item as was a gift and most of my relatives think I’m a bit weird anyway so don’t pay attention.
Thank you for reading
