Anxiety over Allergies

Can't shake anxiety over a peanut allergy I have. Had a close call today when I brought some makeup that had peanut oil in it. Didn't use the makeup, but now just feel rubbish. I hate two things. Anxiety. And living with a peanut allergy

Hi Mindful,

Allergies can be tough. I only have one allergy - I feel nauseated and giddy if I have yellow food colouring. It sounds as though your peanut allergy is moderate to severe. If you don't mind me asking, do you have an epi-pen? I see how always having to read food and product labels could be frustrating. Also, having a reaction is a stressor. Perhaps ask your doctor about brands which are guaranteed to be peanut-free. Labelling is quite accurate and easy to identify nowadays, as allergies are very well-recognized conditions. Talk to your doctor about what is frustrating you. 

Best wishes,

SM
