:? Hello. I have some pretty bad food
allergies. For the past couple of years I
have developed anxiety. I won't try foods
that I don't know that i'm allergic to...I
don't like taking medicines that I don't
know i'm not allergic to. I'm so afraid
that i'll have an allergic reaction to it
and go into anaphalactic* shock. When I
do try something new, I get so worried
that my mind makes my body think i'm
having trouble breathing. Anyone else
ever been through this? Thanks

I have had pretty bad anxiety for just
over 3 years now and I know exactly what
you mean! I also do the same thing
everytime I take new meds even when the
doctor says it's ok. I think the best
thing for you to do is talk to your doctor
and or research what you are about to take
or eat. I know it sounds like a lot of
work but it can be done. Trust your
doctor and just try not to think about.
I know that can be a hard thing but I have
found a lot of my stress came from
overthinking everything I was doing.
