Fed up

[Voltage]

Hello i used to be so over the top when it came to making sure my food is completely gluten free. But lately im getting fed up as i get so hungry spending so much time cleaning and washing everything that i skip some steps then regret it afterwards wishing i did more. Is this normal i feel like im getting too relaxed on this diet.

Also i keep having instances happen where my food lands on my desk and i feel like that food is not contaminated even though i know there should be no gluten at my desk and i throw away the food.

Are you taking a B Complex supplement?  

Several of the eight essential B vitamins can help reduce anxiety, Cobalamine B12, Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B 6.  But all eight are needed for them to function properly.  Magnesium and Vitamin D help, too.  

Anxiety and depression are early symptoms that you may have insufficiency in vitamins and minerals.

If you are the only person who uses your desk, then you probably need to figure out a way to not worry about such things. Food is not cheap nowadays, so throwing it out isn't a great choice. I could only see doing this if I knew that my food got contaminated, or if there was a high likelihood of it.

Do you normally prepare most of your food, including when you venture out? If so, you should be good, but if you eat in restaurants you are opening yourself up to cross-contamination.
