I have this problem...

[Loki]

About 5 weeks ago to this day, I ate a donut from Dunkin Donuts and moments after finishing the donut I felt as if I was high, cotton mouth, the whole nine yards. I panicked and had my girlfriend drive me home quickly. I'm still not sure whether there was something in my donut or if it was an allergic reaction to the nuts on the donut.

Since then, I've had panic attacks or at least some kind of anxiety for about an hour everyday after every single thing I eat. It's literally driving me insane and I can't seem to get a handle on it. There's no factual information to make me feel better that no one has poisoned my food, whether it be cereal, granola bars, anything bagged or boxed really. I don't know what goes on in the factory so I can't convince myself that a person wouldn't be able to tamper with my food in any way.

Now I sit here everyday, debating on what to eat in the morning, at lunch occasionally, and at night for dinner. It's annoying and ridiculous. I can't find anything on anyone being poisoned from the foods I'm fearing, hell, I've never been poisoned by anything I'm eating and yet I still fear them because there's nothing telling me it can't happen. This fear of dying has bugged me since my cousin was killed last year and now it feels like it's really hit me and I'm worried it'll never go away. I went to a psychiatrist yesterday but unfortunately, she's not sure she can help me and might recommend me somewhere else.

What the hell do I do now?

Home...cooking? Make a garden in the backyard and stuff...only eat food you don't know where it came from when you don't have to...

If a psychiatrist couldn't help you, I'm not sure DC will be able to as well.

I guess you should go to the hospital and get some test on you or something.

You obviously don't know of the power that is possessed on these forums.

The only thing that I can think of is that you had some sort of allergic reaction and that there is no need to freak out about everything you eat. Although, I would get tested to see if/what you are allergic to.

Haha, you never know. I guess I'll just have to deal with eating and bugging about some Chinese bastard putting shit in my food since you know, all our food's made in China now.

I ate some of those a bit before the recall and I am fine. My friend has been eating them not knowing of the recall.

I would recommend just going with the stuff you have at home. The food from a home garden will help reassure you that you aren't being poisoned. It may not completely cure you, but it should ease your mind when you go on and eat food not made by you.

And to blaze, this forum is therapy. Whatever the problem, we can find an answer.
