@drkirren: Have you experienced this?

Allergy anxiety is very real!

✨It happens even when no real allergy is present.
✨It involves an intense fear of certain foods or substances, centred around the panic of anaphylaxis.
✨For some people, this fear extends beyond food to things like vaccines, medications, chemicals, temperature changes, or insect bites/stings. ✨It often leads to avoidance—avoiding certain foods or situations where a perceived allergen might be present.
 Over time, avoidance reinforces the fear. Your brain starts linking the trigger with danger more strongly and can begin to make you feel like you have an allergy when you don’t. This increases anxiety and keeps the cycle going. You don’t have to stay stuck in this loop. You can start getting out of it by gradually reducing avoidance, changing how you relate to anxious thoughts, and using calming techniques. I explain how to do all of this in my book—see the link in my bio. 😊📘 Information for general educational purposes only, always check with a professional about your own situation. #allergyanxiety #healthanxiety #anxietytips #mentalhealthtips

I suffer with healthy anxiety but never avoided food until I had my son 3.5 years ago and found out he is anaphylactic today and egg and for some reason I have now told myself I’m allergic to all nuts and new foods.
