My body has been in constant fight or flight mode ever since I noticed white, shiny film-like particles floating on top of my urine. I had no pain, no fever—just those strange particles. I decided to get tested and was told I had a UTI. Even after taking antibiotics, the particles stayed, which led me to do a urine culture. That’s when I found out I had a Staphylococcus aureus UTI, with MRSA resistance. The results mentioned “trace albumin,” and that one word shattered my peace. I made the mistake of googling it, and what I found completely messed with my head. I spiraled into fear, imagining the worst. Even though the particles are my only symptom, I can’t stop checking if they’re increasing or reducing. I’m constantly restless, anxious, and confused. My mind is stuck on repeat, overthinking everything, and it’s affecting my sleep, my appetite, and my dreams. This situation is slowly breaking me down—and I just want to be free from the fear. Anxiety is ruining my life completely.
