Journal Entry for February 23, 2008 Mood

Saturday, February 23, 2008

Well, I am happy to say I still have not had any anxiety attacks:) This has been great, but still I am getting the annoying general anxiety symptoms..if I could figure out a way to control those, I'd be set!!

I got my food allergy test results back yesterday....I am allergic to just about everything that I eat normally! I'm talking egg, wheat, garlic, apples, pears, carrots, spinach, and the list goes on!! I couldn't believe it...I guess there are different levels of allergies though. I have never had any issues with eating these things, or at least not that I am aware of, so I am assuming they are very mild allergies.

The only problem now, because I think way too much about and into everything, I freak out when I eat anything containing any of the things I show an allergy to...it's like I have convinced myself subconsciously that these things will end up making me feel bad or something...urg!!

I wonder if they have contributed at all to the anxiousness I feel at times (my Aunt had a similar experience). She said once she cut the allergens out of her diet she felt totally normal again, so we'll see. It is extremely hard to dodge products with wheat and egg ingredients though, so last night and today have been really tough! To make life easier on myself I am going to stop in a whole foods store to do some research on organic foods. I have heard that they are better for you in the long run anyway so I guess it doesn't hurt!

don't let your mind create fears with these foods, especially since you have never had a reaction to any of them! wheat and dairy definitely can be culprits in our brain chemistry! the dairy is easy to eliminate..wheat, gluten, etc are much harder. take it slow, research, talk to the people at whole foods. remember to take things in moderation! xoxo
