Come on, emma. <:feels:280645240572870656>

As I said in the other chat, I watched sudden fear and it was really good except the ending lol

I don't like a lot of foods other people like.

It's not something I can help.

You're killing me, Emma. <:feels:280645240572870656>

I was born allergic to nearly everything. I lost nearly all of the allergies but I couldn't get rid of psychological conditioning of being afraid of the foods that made me the most sick.

I was a nightmare to feed when I was very little. Normal breast milk? Allergic. Cow milk? Allergic. Most formulas? Allergic.

I had to be fed with soy milk.

so milk in general ecept soy milk

except*

i am allergic to colognes

Allergies constantly annoy me, it's something I've had to learn to live with. <:feels:280645240572870656>

and some kind perfumes

Most bred gave me an allergic reaction to so most bread-like things still make me feel sick. I won't finish the crusts on pizza and won't eat it at all if it's too doughy.

that sucks

I'm lucky I don't seem to have any food allergies anymore. But I still have the instinctive reactions. My mind expects the allergic reactions so tries to get rid of what I just tried to eat.

It doesn't care, or understand, that that doesn't happen to me anymore.

And changing what your brain does as a reflex.... isn't easy.

And I don't see how this is really worth trying.

the brain is an interesting instrument

godmorning everyone

It's actually remarkable that my brain developed that defense mechanism. Had I not lost the allergies, that reflex would regularly save my life.

WOW

I guess it's because it happened so early, when the mind was way more flexible because it was underdeveloped.

wish i couldd just get over my lactose intolerancy

mhmm and the younger you are the less the developed the mind is

Don't as me how they went away. I don't know how, just that they did.

loooooooooool

you can grow out of allergies

and develop new ones

Yes but I was allergic to litterally amost any food you could imagine. If it was editble, I was probably allergic to it.

sounds like my mom tbh

shes allergic to everything

The doctors know why that happened.

but its like mild allergies

Lol

My birth mom was a naughty girl and was doing a lot of drugs while carrying me. I'm lucky that's all I got.

o wow

ya it couldve got worse

for some reason im allergic to pantene shampoo and conditioner
