I'm not sure what category to put this in as i don't know if it's just anxiety, but I'm really struggling with eating anything I have an anxiety that I'm going to be allergic to anything and everything and I can only eat about 4 things atm that I know I'm comfortable with and it's so hard it's ruining everything I can't go out, it's ruining relationships with people, it's ruining my health, I'm getting sick more often, cold all the time when everybody else isn't I don't know how to get over this and it's really hard, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@Rubywalt

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this.

I had a similar anxiety myself surrounding allergies, although it wasn’t related to food allergies.

Do you actually have any allergies or are you just anxious that you might have them?

Have you spoken to a Dr about this? I had CBT and it helped.

@Dandyish10 I have no allergies and never have done so I don’t know why my anxiety is related around this😕

It’s strange what anxiety can cling to.

Please speak to your Dr, CBT could be really useful for you. Flowers
