Freaky....allergies maybe | ADHD Information

Share

I can relate to what you are saying. Sometimes I feel angry and irritable for no reason that I can think of. Like right now. Also depressed and anxious.

Sometimes I can link to one event or situation or a series of events but not always.

I too wonder if I have also developed some allergies or sensitivities either to the environment or to food. One day I feel perfectly fine and then the next day, I am in a fog and my whole body feels almost feverish and ucky.

When I feel like this it magnifies my ADD symptoms. Very foggy, unmotivated, can hardly put my thoughts together. It makes me angry, tearful and depressed.

I have noticed I get like this if I spend too much time in the garden or out doors. OR if I overindulge in certain types of foods.

It interferes with my sleep which makes me even edgier and crankier.

It's hard to go from feeling almost normal to feeling so hopeless. Exercise and meditation don't seem to help. It's like having the flu without having the flu. You feel like crap.

I never had allergies before that I knew of. It seems like I've developed them in the past couple of years.  I think that I will talk to my doc about this as it is interfering with my life. Now, I understand what others go through who suffer from allergies.

I realize now as I have gotten older that I need to watch my diet even more closely. No over doing it on the sugar or milk products or even the wheat products.

 

YOU CAN DEVELPOE ALLERGIES EVEN IF DIDN'T HAVE THEM BEFORE. HE ALSO GOT A FULL BLOOD WORK UP. i ONLY HAD TO PAY THE COPAY THAT'S IT. WE USED A ALLERGIE CENTER. HIS GI WAS GOOD ALSO. i SUGGEST THIS TYPE TESTING IT WAS ALL WELL WIRTH IT. SUGAR/ HORMONE TESTING NOT INCLUDED. oldtimer38908.4206597222Wierd things happened the last two days. I would start to feel extremely low and irritable but to an extreme illogical point, then really....psychotic. Like I can't find a better word for it, though I wouldn't say I was 'insane' because I felt like I could step back and watch it and know it wasn't right without question...something like that. But it progressed to the point where I felt extremely aggressive and downright furious, agitated beyond words, really anxious when nothing was happening around me and really superbly repulsed by everything when it did happen around me. It made no sense. I broke down into crying fits and doing my best not to hyperventilate which went ok but it felt worse and worse the more I held back and I had to visit my boyfriends mom in the hospital so I had to be careful. I felt just bloody well insane, totally gone, like I was experiencing being inside some evil person's head and it was pulling me around but I knew I shouldn't be there. LIke not totally consumed,but the angry frustrated feelings I felt for no reason were overpowering. And I was laughing hysterically, inappropriately and being really rude when I couldn't deal with the bad feelings and when no one was around got somewhat violent.
It progressed into the next day, but it was more of a dream state this time around. The frustration came almost entirely from the fact that I still felt totally WRONG and absolutely jacked up. And everything around me seemed cartoony and fake and deliberate and I was still laughing inappropriately before I had a chance to stop myself, and it felt like I was watching myself say and do everything.
By 7 pm, after a football game and some driving around, it was completely gone.
But I can't find the words to articulate how completely frightening it was, like I was being altered, but conscious of it, but with absolutely no control over it and it felt absolutely horrid the whole way through.
Like I've had things mildly similar when I get breakdowns from stress that I create from being disorganized, etc, but I had a relatively simple, successful week for once, and there was nothing I could think should have caused this.
Grrr... :s
Bloody heck...
Anyways.... I have developed a handful of bad allergies just in the past year, when I was pretty much allergy free my whole life as I know it and I got some research up on how food allergies can cause a lot of physical and emotional/neurological symptoms and stuff, and I might be a million miles off from what happened, but I def. goofed up and had milk and sugar, forgetting....so it could have done something. Usually I feel absolutely sick drunk and gross from it, and grumpy. But I also saw (which has been fairly common in the last little while, I'm sure many of you noticed) that food allergies can be linked to ADD/ADHD symptoms and I wondered about that.  If it's that....weed out the allergies...maybe its that simple. Would be a nice thought, wouldn't it! FIngers crossed.
ANyways, if not allergy, maybe extreme anxiety reaction or something, if not that, some crap illness I could do without and it better take off. Yeh....I'm really fixing it all by saying that :P lol
