Hi, I’m currently experiencing the same feelings you are. I’ve had to take a few days off work due to it. I’ve been watching several upbeat YouTube videos to help out with my anxiety. An it works a bit. If you need to talk I’m here, you’re not alone.

this is the worst, i know exactly how you feel! i’ve went a whole month before running on 2 hours of sleep every day & no naps or nothing. i couldnt eat or drink water at all, it’s truely the worst. and still till this day i struggle from this. im so sorry you have to go through this but there will be better days!😞 don’t try to force yourself to sleep i found that it makes it worse because you’re only stressing yourself out even more😣

I have been having the same problems. Can't eat, can't sleep well, feels like my chest is going to explode. I went on a 5 mile walk in the snow. Had nothing else i could do. Feel a little bit better. Might have to do it again though.

I’m so sorry your anxiety it so high. I don’t think I should give you any advice as to how to calm yourself down because I’d basically be telling you to do a compulsion. Have you ever heard of HALT? It stand for Hungry Angry Lonely and Tired. Any one of these 4 feelings can make our mental state even worse. Try to accept your anxiety and bring it along for the ride. It may be hard to eat but if you remember HALT, then maybe it will encourage you to eat even though you’re anxious because you’ll remember that being hungry makes things worse.

6 months ago I had a severe panic attack and it’s changed my life. Scared of 99% of foods, can’t take meds out of fear, been hospitalized a few times cause of blood sugar drops and other health scares due to poor eating. I’m constantly scanning my body finding any little thing that’s uncomfortable and then fixate and panic over the smallest things. Whether be a smell I’m unfamiliar with, a weird sensation in my arm literally anything freaks me out….. who has had success with exposure or has dealt with similar issues. I feel like I’m unintentionally slowly killing myself but I’m too scared for meds and therapy doesn’t seem to make much of a dent right now. Please share some success stories I need hope.
