Anxiety is driving me crazy

[paintingwords]

Hi. I had been doing farely well without medicine for about 4 months. But I was instead eating lots of junk food to keep myself calm. Recently I have started eating healthier because I gained a lot of weight in those 4 months. The anxiety of weight, not being able to eat what I want, and not being able to work are driving me crazy. What should I do, I don't know? Should I get back on medication. But I don't wanna. I don't want to stuff my body with medication. I hate it. I'm having an anxiety attack rn. I'm going crazy

For me, I'd rather take meds than suffer. I'm sorry you are struggling with painful anxiety. I hope you get relief soon. I agree with anxiety 59, exercise can help - tremendously. It helps me so much.

Both kill, have you ever seen the cable program 600lb Life on TLC, that had nothing to do with medication, people eating themselves to DEATH

Which do you hate most?

Sorry for such late reply. Which do I hate most? Taking meds or not? Or Not being able to eat food that I want?

I'm afraid meds will mess my body up to no return. Regarding food, I have struggled with being overweight all my life. It has crushed my confidence to no end, and now I just don't want it to. Presently, I often am not able to sleep at night because of hunger, but I feel that's still better than being constantly disgusted by my fat self

I can relate to the weight gain and getting frustrated at not being able what I want to! The weather hasn't helped so I'm inside a lot (i.e. the refrigerator is nearby). Good for you that you are eating healthier. I'm thinking of joining Weight Watchers again b/c I found the weekly meetings kept me on track plus you're with other people who need help dealing with cravings (i.e. junk food and sugar) and they can give helpful hints. Going for a walk and getting away from the (bad) food is a good suggestion.
