I know that If you have diarrhea several times a day, the pill is no longer effective. But the diarrhea has to be really watery, right? If I have diarrhea several times towards the end of my pill break or at the beginning of a new pack, my pill is no longer effective and there is a risk of pregnancy, right? Sperm can survive in the body for almost a week, so repeated diarrhea and the pill no longer being effective could lead to fertilization.
I am very afraid of this scenario, so I always pay close attention to what I eat. I avoid alcohol and fatty foods so that I don't get diarrhea. I'm so afraid about the pill not working. What do you suggest?

As you know yourself, your fear is playing tricks on you and painting horror scenarios. I'm not going to go into it because you know how the pill works and what is likely and what is unlikely. If I tried to refute any of your fears, your fear would find something new and explain to you why you are particularly at risk of getting pregnant. That won't help. The fact is: you are taking the pill correctly, you don't have diarrhea, you won't get pregnant this way, and YOU ARE AFRAID. And what's also good is that you have recognized that fear is the problem and not something else.
What I also gather is that you control yourself extremely. So you control exactly what you eat or drink. But as you yourself realize, this does not help with the fear. You cannot control the fear by controlling yourself or your food.
This means that fear is a powerful force that drives you to do all sorts of things. You do a lot and restrict yourself in order to contain it, but it always wins. This means that control is useless. I would recommend that you expose yourself to your fear and then make friends with it. It would be very helpful to focus on what you feel in your body. Thoughts are secondary. So do you feel pressure or tingling somewhere, or something else, when what you call fear occurs? And if so, where do you feel it? And can you let it grow, so that it takes up more space in your body? Here are some tips how you can calm yourself down.
