Hi everyone
For about a week I've noticed a mild 'disgust' when seeing certain images....it sounds weird but bear with me. I put it down to hormones (which can cause a mild disgust for some things, but very mild) but yesterday I kept thinking of certain images and they were making me feel sick. I did a bit of research on google and sure enough it's got a name, Tryophobia. I'm not fearful though, just disgusted....certain patterns just look like disease...
This is not me at all and is out of character, I'm usually quite resilient to images or gore or anything. I had labyrinthitis when I sat up in bed this morning. I went out to the shops and saw a hanging basket of flowers, but they had the same configuration as the patterns I don't like, next thing I have nausea and I've just come home. Decided I shouldn't be out today.
But now I'm wondering. I've been putting two teaspoonfuls of blueberry powder on my food. That's the equivalent of about a handful of blueberries, but the other day it looked like I'd overdone it. I ate it even though it was saturated in the stuff.....and remember telling myself, if you have any weird effects it'll be this.
So....could it be? Anyone heard of that?
I'm also lowering the dose of beta blockers that I'm currently on (not for blood pressure or anything and it's safe for me to do this, doctor's aware), perhaps it's a weird withdrawal effect from that.
Thanks for reading.
