First post

[belladay]

hello, this is my first post on anything like this. I'm really just looking for people who relate to the things I go through and hopefully feel less alone and help others feel less alone. Recently, my anxiety has gotten unbearable. I can't go out and do things that I used to enjoy doing because I'm afraid of having a panic attack in public, which ultimately happens and I end up going home and missing out. It has also gotten to the point where I am afraid to eat food because I am afraid of being allergic to something and having a reaction, even though I've eaten the foods carelessly and without any problems in the past. Anyone else feeling like this? Would love to chat.

Hi and welcome. You will find others with the same issues and can surely relate.

I’m finally starting to get better but this has been me the past three months. I’ve been miserable. I love food so much and yet I’ve become so afraid of it. I lost about thirty pounds. Now I make myself eat but I still have a couple panic attacks a day afraid that any little twinge or odd feeling in my throat or tongue means I’m having an allergic reaction. I can eventually calm myself down and everything passes but I absolutely hate it! Did you have something happen that triggered the fear?
