    Anxiety is ruining my health

    Has anyone else felt that their health has plummeted since having this horrible disorder? So far this year I've had shingles which was awful, styes on my eyes (never had this before!) and now I have the flu. I feel bloody dreadful and its depressing because I think I'll stay run down until the anxiety shifts - god knows when that will be! x

    It definitely takes a toll Lissa. I've had pretty good success with selenium as an immune system booster. I had a bad patch with tonsilitis, colds and whatnot a few months ago but it's served me well for a few years other than that, I haven't had flu since Deecember 2009 x

    I might give that a try. I've just bought a blender so I can make myself vegetable smoothies (doesn't that sound yummy?). I know I should give up smoking but I worry about the effects on my mood. I've stopped drinking and try to do more exercise but its hard when I'm always under the weather. x

    Vegetable smoothies sound good - for your health, if not enjoyment. I'm a smoker too and, no, it doesn't help, but it sounds like you are taking lots of positive steps, so one thing at a time! x

    I should add on the selenium front - do read up on the possible side effects and interactions before deciding to give it a go xx
