Hi

I’ve had anxiety since I can remember, I’m 60 now.
This last 2 weeks morning anxiety especially is affecting wanting to eat.
It’s the same thing every time I have high anxiety episodes, I should be used to it you would think:ohmy: but I’m not

I’m snappy with son and partner, and and think he’s fed up with it.
He says don’t let it get to you, be stronger than it. I’ve said I’d like to see you cope with it.
Mornings I wake up and it there straight away, I’ve tried breathing, mindfulness on anything in site out of window. I can’t drink my usual coffee, it turns my stomach, so I drink hot water for a hot drink. I can later have camomile tea and drink this and water throughout the day. I took 2.5mg diazepam this morning
Which I don’t really like taking, but need something to bring it down

The thought of food doesn’t interest me at the moment, but then my stomach telling me I need something hunger.

How have you overcome this, if anxiety affects you this way????
I need my appetite back in order to feel better.

I’ve been eating
Bananas
Rice pudding
Soup(when I can)
Weetabix

How do you cope and what do you take???

Does your Gp give you anything for appetite??

well you 2.5 of valium is not doing any good , you need a med from your gp an ANTIDEPRESSANT with an anxiety agent, you may be depressed and not no it:)

Thank you

I’m on an antidepressant venlafaxine, I’ve taken 5 mg diazepam today.
Within literally 10 mins I was falling asleep, I’d only just got up:scared15:

Last night literally the thought of food I just couldn’t, yet stomach was saying yes yes

Managed to push myself to eat weetabix, not enjoying to looking around whilst each spoonful. But did it:yesyes:
Brushed my teeth later, and gagged and the weetabix came back aghhh

I get fed up some days but don’t feel depressed, scared ofrom bodily symptoms
Which I know want harm me, but when you have them going through your body
That goes out the window most days.

Still struggling

Were you depressed when given venlafaxine, and what MG do you take
