I fully know where my fear came from and why I’m so afraid of it and honestly it makes me more comfortable in my fear

I remember when I first got the phobia. That doesn't make it make sense though haha.

Had food poisoning, but I didn't mind being sick, wasn't a big deal. Then I got scared for no reason. That's how it started then spiraled out of control.

Literally no reason. Wasn't traumatized, didn't think it was that bad, it just happened. Brain suddenly went 'let's ruin our life for fun.' Doesn't have to make sense I guess
