My allergies are bothering me alot today and I'm feeling kinda down. Its annoying how my allergies make so many things more difficult, even just things like eating and drinking and sleeping. Making things I need to do take longer is really annoying too.
I was also lamenting today that I don't really have anyone to chat with/commiserate with who also has bad allergies. Not to say I don't love that people read and comment and stuff, but having someone to commiserate with would be nice sometimes.
This is a history and description about how my severe nasal allergies have impacted my life and how I am trying to deal with it.

Why I like chatting online
I was chatting with someone recently online about why I like to chat online and I wanted to post about it.
Most of the time I am very congested and its pretty impossible for me to not sound all stuffed up when I talk (even though I keep trying). I just don't like the way I sound like that, I am embarrassed by it, and it feels like more of an effort to talk. My sneezing also interrupts my conversations. I have to stop what I am saying while I am sneezing and people will stop talking while I am sneezing. I really feel bad about disrupting conversations like that and I hate all the focus from people when I have a fit in the middle of a conversation. It also really sucks when I am trying to answer a question, or I really need to tell someone something, but I can't because I am sneezing so much. It can cause problems.
When I chat online I can avoid most of that. The congestion is not an issue at all and some of the fits I can still type through and the sneezing is less of a disruption for an online conversation. When my allergies are really bad, it gets pretty hard to talk, but it is much easier to chat online. So if it seems like my allergies are always bad when I am online, that's why. When they aren't that bad I tend to be online less.
