Always scared

[Fedupgirl]

Does anyone else have constant fear of something being physically wrong. Or your afraid of trying things because it may do something bad to you? Such as foods or lotions etc.?

Oh this is me 100%. I refuse to try any new foods in case I may be allergic and then possibly have an anaphylactic reaction.

I have gotten a bit better but I definitely 75% of the time deal with feeling like death is looming or that something bad is going to happen to me soon.

I live in a fear cycle and I am sorry that you are in one as well. 😢

I hope you find peace, soon!

Cheers!

Thank you. I hope you find peace too. I know it’s hell. Just had 5 teeth including a wisdom tooth and can’t eat. The whole thing took me years to work up to until it absolutely had to be done. So eating solid food right now is not an option. My mom gave me ensure shakes to drink and it took me two days to get the nerve to drink one. I was starving and had to.

All the time

There is always a health trigger for me. Something like chest pain, that will segue into something else and then into something else like throat/swallowing etc. It becomes impossible to know what's really physically happening vs. my anxiety reaction to it. Anxiety related diseases like ibs flare up. Eventually I get a billion tests (have unbelievable insurance), and I realize everything is ok and then I'm fine for a while. I need something to break the cycle before it starts!
