Just got off. Didn't feel like eating a pizza so I made a salad from my job with stuff I've normally eaten before on an almost daily basis.
Gets home to relax , make some tea, and eat said salad. As soon as I start chewing the salad my mouth begins itching and I can feel my lip burn a little so I spit it out and stop eating, brush my teeth etc.
I have health anxiety so I instantly think I'm allergic to everything and it's gonna harm me or something. So I feel fine I guess right now besides the scary thoughts in the back of my mind and mild panic.
Ugh I hate dealing with this so much, I'm currently drinking peppermint tea to help calm me down but I hope there is nothing that I'm allergic to in the salad :/

The worst thing about feeling allergic to something is that anxiety can mimic the symptoms. Keeping Benadryl around could help. I no longer eat peanuts or seafood because I'm afraid of feeling funny, even though I am not allergic to them.
THIS !!!! Yessss like I'm it even 1000% sure I'm allergic to avocados or nuts but I completely stopped eating them because my health anxiety makes me terrified of feeling weird whenever I try to eat those things
I even called the ambulance on myself once for drinking almond milk 😫😫😫
