afraid to eat..

[Rhea31]

For the past 2 weeks I have developed another fear that I can get die from eating any kind of food. That is because of the fact that I am very allergic to certain products and have seasonal allergies in april and may. And now, I feel like any kind of food can lead to an allergic reaction which can result in inability to breathe...

I have had anxiety for over 5 months now and I feel like it's always changing.. Now it's the fear to eat anything.... what can I do? :(((((( each time I eat anything I feel a lump forming in my throat, difficulty breathing, a strange tingling and I start panicking... help

Hi I would tell u to stick to fruits and vegetables, find out the ones that ur allergic to and try and eat something. I know how u feel, ur scared of dying from food, well if u don't eat your gonna die from hunger too so try ur best to get something to eat, wait until ur most relaxed and then try and eat, I don't have any of these syntomps but I understand how u feel.

Hello,i have suffered with anxiety all my life.when i was little i remember my music teacher was talking to the whole class about how easy it was to choke,well i freaked out and quit eating for about three months.i would eat butter and peanut butter(i know,gross right?) And i would drink liquids but other than that i wouldnt eat anything bc i was scared of choking and dieing.my parents took me to the er time after time and they kept telling me they were gonna end up putting a feeding tube in me or something.i know i didnt want that.so i eventually came around and started eating again.so i know how scarey it is to feel like that.i also have allergies and find myself worrying about the same things you are.i dont eat new things that ive never ate before bc im always scared my throats gonna swell up and im not gonna get to the hospital in time.but i guess its something were gonna have to learn to cope with.bc we cant stop eating or we will die.and thats what were scared of.i hope you get through this.i wish u the best of luck!
