yeah I had a lot of bad anxiety issues after I got covid in February 2020, but mostly after they gave me Prednisone which is not a good combo steroids and covid. So I went through months and months of extremely bad anxiety, panic and anxiety attacks, stroke like symptoms. I got over it with time and then my anxiety mellowed out until 7 months ago when I had a scare with eating too much sugar and the it got so bad. I've been doing good last couple months but then been feeling some symptoms in my chest again and now I'm having more constant anxiety...very mild mostly but still it sucks..I'd gotten so use to NOT feeling anything physical wise for a while..now I'm having to remind myself this has happened before and it's normal and I am ok. But it definitely sucks!

thats it thats what i do , it works when you put the work in .. check out anxieties.com .. stop worrying 6 episodes .. its probably what you do in CBT but they are cool to watch like little skits

omg right the funny head feeling is awful cuz your eyes just everything it feels like you might pass out and it always comes out of nowhere...sigh and yeah I just talk myself down all the time..I'm just like nothing is gonna happen we are safe. And if something bad happens...oh well 🤷🏽‍♀️ is what it is lol like I literally have accepted mostly that if something is to happen that I just have to accept and be ok with it. Not live in fear what if I have a heart attack or stroke or something else...like well what if? But what if I don't and I'm just fine. So yeah. And yeah I wish at times I have Klonopin or Xanax to take as needed, but my Dr won't prescribe it so I just have my buspirone I take 15mg 4 times a day...and I just talk to my brain and anxiety like it's a person. Tell her we are good and to relax. But I accept that she is there until she is ready to leave 😅

yeah.. unfortunately it's not a person or a situation...my anxiety stemmed from back in the beginning of December last year...I had a higher a1c of 6.1 so prediabetic...I ate waaaay too much sugar and caused me to have a bad panic attack. Thus leading me to have fear around eating in general. I eat limited foods because of it. I've been on an extremely low carb diet since. I cut out sugar, no fruits, no heavy processed carbs. I've eaten a lot of the same things for months. I eat a lot of Atkins protein bars and snack bars. I'm trying to do exposure slowly by introducing foods I used to eat but it's going to take some time I just got to a point of feeling confident enough to do it. I got chipotle last night and got black beans, no rice or salsa just did the Paleo bowl with chicken. I've not had dairy in months nor red meat mostly due to GI issues) but yeah....it's not as easy as ridding the stress away unfortunately lol I just have to find a healthy relationship with food again...and know I'll be ok when I eat stuff and not have a panic attack. I had so many and constantly having anxiety attacks for weeks on end around eating anything.
