Hi all,
Its been two years since I posted on this site and here I am again, with a vengeance.
In the two years I have had: MND, heart problems, a brain tumour, stomach cancer and leukaemia more times then I can recall.
Currently, I have not eaten for three days bar a few mouthfuls as I have convinced myself that I have food allergies and dare not eat. I have been to the doctors who has given me 2mg of Diazepam but not a chance in hell will I take them as I am petrified of anaphylaxis. I am just generally in a right pickle at the moment.
I work full time as a Staff Trainer and for the last two weeks, have had to go AWOL from work doing reduced hours as my anxiety convinces me I am seriously ill and something bad will happen while there. I then come home and spend literally hours reading up on my current fear of allergies.
I would state that I have never had an allergic reaction to anything, I have no allergies I am aware off and none exist in my family. However, I get rashes and my mouth feels funny when I eat which reinforces these worries further. The doctor said these are not allergies but anxiety but I just cannot let go of worrying about everything. This isn't living.
I am 34 and have three little girls who I cherish. My anxiety started when the first was born and has just got worse.
Anyway thank you for reading, I don't know what I am hoping to get out of this post I am just reaching out for some help.
Nathan
