i live in constant paranoia. ive known about my allergy for a couple of years now and been ok but ever since a few months ago when i shared a glass with someone who had eaten peanuts and had an allergic reaction. i have been living a nightmare.

i can never be comfortable eating anywhere but my own home, because i am constantly worried about cross contamination of the use of peanut products etc. i am literally washing my hands 20 times a day to wash away "peanut particles" that i think i may have picked up through the day.

it is just taking over my life, i cannot go out and have fun because i am constantly scared that by touching or eating the wrong thing i will end up having a reaction.
is there anything i can do to get over this? it is literally ruining my life.
