Hey ladies.

So for over a month I’ve struggled with irrational fears around developing allergies or going into anaphylaxis. I’m having these fears due to the fear of losing control and uncertainty. *By the way, I do see a therapist and she has been very helpful, but I still struggle with these fears.

I’ve never been allergic to anything in my 18 years of living. The only time I’ve ever had a “reaction” experience is my tongue went numb when I ate celery a couple of times, but then it never happened again and that was many years ago.

I’ve been able to get around the fear of eating foods by eating them slowly and letting myself see that I’m not in any danger. However, today I wanted to take my daily vitamin, but I’m very worried that I’ll have a panic attack if I take it and have the thoughts that I’ll react to it. I haven’t taken my vitamin in weeks due to this fear.

It’s super exhausting and it makes me very irritated.

Any advice or tips would be helpful.
