What are food like can help me with anxiety?!


Question: What are food like can help me with anxiety!?
I am dealing with a lot of anxiety right now!. I have not hardly eaten in a week!. My stomach is always upset and I am irritable and edgy!. I am unable to sleep well!. I relax then I awake with my stomach turning and heart racing!.

When I go to Church I calm down and I have been praying!. I have been praying with others and it helps quite a bit!. I know it is a big part that I am going to the dentist on Weds but I am wondering if a lot this anxiety is because that I am pre menopausing!.

I really need good advice!. I do have fears taking pills as well!. I get anxiety just by that!. I am a mess and I feel so lost!.

Please be kind and not cruel!. I am very seriousWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
hey i have had the same problem so i know what your going through!. i think it is really good that you are praying and keeping up your spiritual life, but no matter how much it hurts you have to eat!. some natural remedies you may want to try are MILK THISTLE you can get it at health food stores, it is a dropped liquid you put in water- no flavor!. it helped me a lot!.
now pills- i tried as hard as i could before i took them, but seriously if its that bad, don't wait!. just be careful some you try may make yo worse which in that case your going to want to try something Else but don't be afraid!. just keep in touch with your Doctor!.
as for regular food- try to stay away from greasy things, they will just make you stomach worse!. acids could have the same effect!.
well i hope this advise is able to help you!. keep trying- don't give up!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eat a handful of Valiums!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aww I can relate, I have anxiety and before I got it under control I had no appetite, I actually lost 15 lbs, and I wasn't a big girl to begin w/!. My anxiety gets worse about a week or two before my period and if you're dealing w/ premenopause that can definately increase your anxiety b/c of all the hormones going crazy!. I strongly reccomend seeing your family dr, I didn't want to go either, but after I went I was glad I did, he actually gave me a low dose of Xanax and I only take it when I'm feeling really anxious and that really helps me!. Good Luck to you!.

edit: As for foods to eat, avoid caffeine, and sugars, and try to eat a balanced/healthy diet, lots of whole grains, fruits, veggies, etc!. I recently started eating a vegetarian diet and have noticed an improvement in my overall mood and energy level too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have gone through something similar!. I couldnt sleep, eat, or do any normal activity w/o my mind being preoocupied by my fear!. I also felt calm in church but outside of church I was a wreck!. You know when you are driving and some animal jumps out in front of you and your heart starts racing and your body gets tense!? Thats how I felt almost constantly!.!.!. I started taking Fluvoximine and it seemed to really help out!

I became pregnant soon after taking Fluvoxomine so I had to stop!. During my entire pregnancy and the 4 months following I have not had any problems w/ this anxiety that I had for years! I asked my doctor and he said the increase of hormones from the pregnancy has helped me!. So if you have never gone through this anxiety before then it really could be because you are going through menopause!. (and the docs have a medicine!.!.!. to help balance!.!.!. OR there is tea at herbal stores that help with this as well if you prefer a natural method) I would ask your doctor!.!.!. this type of anxiety you sorta get "used to dealing with" or start to think "thats just how you are" (I got called OCD and a hypercondriach more times than I can count) and you forget what its like to enjoy life! I was always "against pills" thinking that I didnt need any easy way out!.!.!. or if I would just work on my relationship w/ God things would get better etc!.!.!. but it didnt because it was hormonal (I'M NOT saying that God cant deliver you from this!.!.!. I am just saying that I believe that God has allowed doctors to help us from this!) GOOD luck!! I feel for you!.!.!. because this is a life altering anxiety!!
