Okay, I have a bit of a phobia of peanuts…but I will take the risk for these puppers!
This is not something I’ve heard of, and I’m having trouble imagining what it entails. Like, I assume you’re not deathly allergic (since that fear would be justified and thus not a phobia) but I also assume you weren’t attacked by a peanut during your formative years. Would you mind elaborating, if that’s not rude to ask?
Well, a peanut once bit my sister… No realli! 😛
The night I had my first panic attack, I had been eating a Hershey bar with almonds a little while earlier. About a week later, I grabbed a few peanut M&Ms from a coworker on my way out of work. On may way home I had another panic attack (which probably had more to do with my generally heightened state of anxiety since the first one and the fact that driving made me very nervous after that). They just kind of got connected in my head, plus peanut allergies were kind of big in the news cycle at the time, which didn’t help. I still can’t eat nuts.
One of my big anxiety symptoms is feeling like my throat is closing. The night of the first panic attack, I ended up going to the hospital, and they saw no swelling or other indication of any kind of allergic reaction to anything (or anything else wrong with me, of course). I have no real reason to believe that I am allergic to any food. I recognize that it is completely irrational. But still.
(You’ll notice I do not have such reservations about chocolate, however. 😉 )
Ah, ok. So it’s like the time I got either horrendous food poisoning or norovirus after an airport hotdog and couldn’t eat any hotdogs (and got nauseous at the smell) for a good decade after.
Now that I think about it, I became able to eat them again right around the time memories of my childhood started to get hazy. I wonder if it’s connected with brain adultification, or if it’s just a coincidence.
One my college friends couldn’t drink hot chocolate for the longest time because of an incident when she was a kid. The hot chocolate probably isn’t what made her sick, but it’s the last thing she had just before she got sick, and she just couldn’t stomach it after that.
I used to get anxiety attacks at just the smell of peanuts. I had to get over it a little when I worked in a bookstore with a café, because when they were baking cookies for the day you could smell it all over the store, and one of the cookies had mini peanut butter cups in it. So at least I don’t completely freak out just smelling them anymore.
Hm, totally unrelated, but have you recovered from the ear problem that you had at the weekend?
(I hope Debg also feels good)
Thanks so much for thinking of me–yes, I think I’m back to 100%. Good thing too, because it was a busy week.
Mostly, I think. I still have one dose of antibiotics left (another thing that makes me anxious). Though I have a headache today, which started behind both eyes but has shifted to the left. Contemplating going to sit in an empty office down the way with the lights off during lunch.
Thanks for asking. 🙂
Yup! Anxiety throat closing. Usually in the car while driving where I cannot pull over.
I’ve come up with some coping mechanisms and sayings that calm me down.
As to peanut puppets: you can’t huff just one!
Do they sell these downtown during the holidays in crisp brown paper bags. Keep your hands warm.
😀 Mmmm, hot- toasted puppers from the man with the cart.
Yeah, I had to learn to control it because I couldn’t not be able to drive. There was one night I had to get my parents to pick me up (one of them had to drive my car), which meant they had to leave my grandmother, who was not in the best of health, home alone for a little while. After that I decided I couldn’t let that happen again.
Good for you!
Slow deep breaths are your friend. 😉
When it’s really bad I’ll cup my hands over my mouth and nose and breathe. Same principle as breathing into a paper bag. I don’t know if it actually does the same thing but it helps me and that’s all that matters.
Honestly, if it’s continuing to affect your life, you may want to get some additional support. Maybe have a professional work with you on systematic desensitization or something.
I get it though, my nephew was deathly allergic and to some degree you HAVE to be that paranoid. They actually sent some a$$hat restaurant owner in England to jail because he used cheaper peanut powder in his curries DESPITE his clients telling him that they had severe allergies. Unfortunately it took a death for him to get the message
The most frustrating part of the proliferation of people jumping on fad diets has been led folks who haven’t bothered to do any reading or even a basic google search to conclude all gluten sensitivity and even some food allergies are just hipster placebo nonsense.
This has even led to restaurants and the like advertising food as gluten free when they aren’t actually taking necessary cross-contamination precautions.
What I’m getting at is that if the United States government gave me Judge Dredd-like powers the world would become a better place.
I would give you such powers if you’d use them to change some of my pet peeves too. List available upon request.
I think we all have lists you could help us with!
Oof! I know the feeling too well. I developed mine from a hasty diagnosis of MS when what I really had was bad sinusitis. I spent a good two years unraveling the mess with cognitive therapy and I’ve not had any lapses. Being kind to yourself has made all the difference. That and never seeing an ENT specialist again! ?
My thought, exactly. How can you stop after just one? Gotta huff’em all. Just gotta.
OMG, hot, fresh puppers!
The resemblance is uncanny.
Good thing I don’t have a peanut allergy!
The pups are totally precious!
Some TV channel — I think Animal Planet — has been running old episodes of Too Cute early every morning, so I’ve of course been recording them. So whenever I need an extra dose if Teh Cute, I’m all set now.
