I Shouldn’t Have Done That

The other day I did a Tumblr search for “gullible” because I thought it would bring up entertaining anecdotes.  Instead it brought up posts by people who disbelieve things I think of as fundamental truths, like evolution and free will.  One of the symptoms of my anxiety disorder is that, when I encounter a horribly wrong thing that I don’t technically know is false, I’ll continue to have the nagging feeling that it’s true.  I can’t escape the notion that everything I know is wrong.  So for the past few days I’ve been under this dark cloud of thought.

The ironic part is that I’d just been thinking I should stop doing Tumblr searches without productive purposes, and I’d also just been thinking about one of the exact pieces of misinformation that reinfected my head.
