New medications, nuts, shellfish, fruits, anything. I know this doesn't make sense to most people, but I know that I DO NOT have any allergies, but my OCD still makes me think that I JUST MIGHT. It drives me crazy, living in fear everyday. My fear is that my throat will swell and that I'll die. I also have fear of any pain, headaches, chest pain, anything will make me anxious and make me think that any pain, leads to "the worst". I tend to keep most of my anxieties to myself, most people don't understand. I need help, I honestly can't take living like this anymore!
