In honor of Food Allergy Awareness Month, I want to talk about something that doesn’t get said enough: the mental health side of living with severe food allergies. Yes, you avoid your allergens. But what you can’t avoid is the psychological toll. The trauma that follows an anaphylactic reaction. The loneliness and isolation. The quiet, defeating feeling of knowing your body doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to. If that resonates with you, I want you to know: you are not alone. Sharing something this personal on the internet always makes me a little nervous. But if it helps even one person feel seen, it’s worth it. #foodallergies #foodallergyawareness #severefoodallergies #foodallergylife #foodallergyadvocate
