Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i keep worrying that if i eat a food that i ve not had in a while i m going to become allergic to it, it seemed to have happened just as i got anxiety symptoms. and i now i can t seem to get this allergy fear out of my head, it s taking over my life!!
I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the available information, I can conclude that you have obsession and phobia towards new food. No problem. That is actually good. You are aware that such an eating habit can cause allergy as well as food poison. But you need to control those obsessive thoughts and anxiety. Awareness can help this. Understand that even food which you take usually can give you allergy as well as food poison. Over and above, when you are really hungry, you don't care.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
