It may not work, but in my little peanut brain I simply gaslight myself until I’m not having allergy symptoms. After all, the mind IS a powerful thing. Imagine being uncontrollably itchy right now. Now imagine cool, silky water flowing over your skin to soothe it.
If all else fails I go home and shower to ”reboot.”

pair this with a good old fashioned lay-down-on-the-couch and honey you’ve got yourself a cure all

cold compress but with a sock full of powdered oats repeatedly dipped in ice water. Insane how effective this is and also how stupid it looks. You do have to sacrifice a sock though

When having a panic attack and/or wave of anxiety breaking over you I recommend grounding yourself in your senses. Even using your fingers to root what you say in your head. Puts up thumb, I can feel my feet hurting from standing all day. Puts up pointer finger, I can hear...Put up middle, I can taste...Puts up ring finger, I can smell...Puts up pinky, I can see...Usually do what you see last as this works best with eyes closed if possible.
Another emergency measure is popping something with an intensely strong flavor. War heads work great. If you don't want to mess with candy, hot sauce directly on your tongue works too.
Hope you find some relief!
