Loss of appetite due to increased anxiety

[AfricanLady]

Yesterday as I was eating my food standing which I normally don't do because I'm obsessed with routine I started feeling very anxious to a point where I felt a panic attack coming, I then lost my appetite which made me more anxious . I immediately took a 5mg betapam pill which made me feel confused. I woke up feeling a bit confused but good, I am now feeling very anxious like I'm a computer that is going to shutdown. This is the worst feeling ever.

Anxiety can cause loss of appetite or overeating. However, you are talking about the opposite? Your eating caused the anxiety?

I think my eating did cause the anxiety coupled with the pacing around, it's weird.

Aaah. I see. Do you keep a journal? I started journaling about 6 months ago. I will shout from the rooftop how much this has helped. Reread it or don't. But as I'm writing I'm realizing why I do some things I do. Try it if you haven't.
