Just found out all these years I just have allergies

I moved to Houston a few years ago, I never was bothered by allergies at all in my life.

I feel retarded, for a few years now I've struggled with itchy eyes, boogery nose, constantly rubbing my nose.

I was speaking to a friend last week and mentioned to him how it's hard not to touch your face when your eyes and nose are always fucking itchy!!

He asked me why, and I had honestly not thought about it. I just thought it was normal? It would come and go, looking back on it I assume it would depend on the pollen count.

Anyway, based off his advice I started popping one Benadryl with my breakfast since I'm quarantined and if I get drowsy it doesn't matter at all… and I feel so fucking alive! For 3 years I've struggled with this s**t. My nose cleared up almost instantly, I can breathe through it! And I barely touched my face or itched the f**k out of my eyes.

Not Sure what pollen it is, or what I'm actually allergic to, but almost 40 years of my life never bothered me.

Anyone else just pop allergy pills every day? Is there a better alternative to Benadryl? Any more advice to an absolute retard of a human who just realized he hasn't been constantly sick for years and just has allergies?
