What to eat if you have severe anxiety disorder? I have panic

Xanax

>>8215810
the healthier the better. cut caffeine and sugar as much as possible, except for weekend treats. limit salt intake if you don't have a thyroid problem. I like warm broth when I'm anxious and find it hard to eat, the warmth is calming.

stereotypical healthy diet. Low glycemic carbs, vegetables, protein. Healthy fats. Fish. Nothing new under the sun

>>8215834
How about fruit?

>>8215810
stuff you cooked yourself
i find cooking is a great distraction from any shit i've got going on
not only that but you'll be eating real food and not shit
if you can't cook then youtube
it can be like a new thing/hobby

>>8215810
If I told you I was going to sneak into your house tonight at stare at you while you slept, would it affect your level of anxiety?

>>8215810
Bless you heart, I feel your pain.
I've been dealing with panic disorder since I was 19 (and I'm much older now).
Diet most definitely can play a very effective role in keeping it at bay, BUT, you should always have back up meds as well (I hope you do).
What works for me is keeping my diet very clean - no alcohol, low carb (getting my carbs from only fruits, vegetables, and the occasional whole grains like wild rice, oats, and ancient grains), low dairy (the only dairy I usually have is a dollop of milk in my tea some days, but I'll have cheese occasionally), no coffee - only tea and herbal teas, lean meats, and healthy fats. And I stay as far away from excess sugar as possible. I also take specific supplements that help with anxiety and stress, like fish oil (twice a day), a GOOD multivitamin (don't buy some cheap crap brand), and a supplement that is supposed to help with cortisol.
Exercise really, really helps too, although it can be hard if you're in the middle of a panic episode. I don't know how other people feel when they have panic attacks, but I can't leave the house, even though I go into full "flight or fight" mode. A really bad panic attack turns me into a raging agoraphobic who wants to run away (from the invisible tiger, if you get that metaphor) and can't. Ugh. Anyway, I do yoga every morning and try to walk at least 5-7 miles a day, even if I'm having a bad day and can only pace around the house.

>>8215861
You'd be getting shanked, m8.
You shouldn't ever fuck with people with a high anxiety or panic disorder. They'll fuck you up.

Buy a gigantic package of mini m&ms and you are only allowed to eat after you classify them by colour
After you are done you mix them again

>>8215914
Doing a repetitive or simple task like organizing mom's or coloring in a coloring book relieves anxiety and stress very well in many people.

>>8215923

Thanks autocorrect.

>>8215919
>how to tell someone who's never known people with panic attacks

You're an idiot, m8. People like that go into full blown fight mode. Retard strength. They'd pick your skinny little body up and throw it across the room like a rag doll, and then you'd get tasered, shanked, or worse. Most people I know with the anxiety based disorders all carry some type of personal protection on them at all times.

>>8215923
>>8215927
>organizing mom's

Nice kek.

That (repetitive tasks) only works for certain people, though. Sure, OP can try it, but it can also make the anxiety worse, because they're not allowing the adrenaline rush to get out of their system, they're holding it in.
Deep breathing exercises work better, because it helps your body reverse what's happening chemically. However, not everyone can do that while having an attack, either.

>>8215928
Hahaha, you're OP aren't you? Trying to intimidate me because I upset you. So cute.

>>8215928
Really? Because all the people I know who have panic attacks start crying because their car stalls or their card gets shut off.


If you have anxiety you should be eating a diet high in protein and calories, in combination with picking up heavy objects and putting them down. Do this until you no longer have anxiety or snap some innocent bystander in half with your 'retard strength' gains.

>>8215810

>>8216006
Good mental health is reliant on good bodily health.

I'm not so sure what's so 'mentally midgeted' about giving a perfectly good answer to such an inane question as 'What should I eat if I'm anxious all the time'.

>>8216023
Believe me, if you were in the room with me when I had a panic attack, and acted the way you're acting now, you'd be scrambling to try and get away, leaving a trail of piss and shit behind you. You're a class A moron. I've seen someone having a panic attack actually stab themselves in the leg with a chef's knife to try and make it stop. But by all means, keep being an uneducated Jethro.

>>8216030
>Really? Because all the people I know who have panic attacks start crying because their car stalls or their card gets shut off.

It's THIS that makes you sound like a mental midget. Those people aren't necessarily having a panic attack. They "could" be, because one of the symptoms of panic attack is crying without being able to control it. But, the amount of adrenaline that's coursing through their bodies is nothing to take lightly. What you're describing sounds more like an average anxiety attack.

>>8216033
>dude bruh I'm super tough
>I'm so tough I saw some idiot stab themself in the leg once

Wow, such a bad ass.

>>8215851
Low fructose is best, berries, avocado and tomatoes are best
vegetables are typically more nutrient dense and have less calories
everyones different though and ymmv so experiment and figure out your own "best" diet (satisfying, gives you energy, sustainable)

>you're just another piece of shit on 4chan.

Aren't we all? Did you get lost on your way to a social media site?

>>8216050
You still don't get it, and you never will, because you're not willing to LEARN.
No one is trying to sound like a badass, except the mincing faggot who keeps trying to claim people with panic attacks and anxiety attacks piss themselves in corners. That person (whether it's you or not) is ignorant trash who ought to try and fucking learn something instead of trying to be some kind of poseur freak on /ck/ of all places.

ITT: cu/ck/s take the bait

>>8216047
That would be because attempting to make a mental health issue seem 'cool' is a childish response and inherently discourages someone to make lifestyle changes to mitigate it.

OP says they need to meditate and exercise. If you are exercising you should be eating food that fits with exercising. Therefore you should be getting protein and calories.

>>8216067
lol

so sad

>>8216080
>That would be because attempting to make a mental health issue seem 'cool' is a childish response and inherently discourages someone to make lifestyle changes to mitigate it.

I don't think ANYONE in this thread is trying to make a mental illness seem cool. If you think that having an uncontrollable adrenaline rush and feeling like you're losing control and/or dying is cool, you've got issues of your own.
Having ANY illness, mental or physical is a far cry from being "cool".

>>8216113
Agreed, mental illness is in no way cool.

So don't say that people who have panic attacks are going to lift people up and hurl them across the room, entirely in the face of biology and physics.

>>8216119
It's funny because you keep responding, you sperg. Come on, tell me more about how you're going to hulk out and put me through a wall instead of pissing yourself.

>>8216123
You don't know what you could expect. That's the point. That's why how this idiot >>8216128 acts is so fucking moronic. Sure, most people who have panic attacks aren't inherently dangerous, but anyone with a large amount of adrenaline going full force in them has the possibility of doing anything if they're goaded enough during it. Panic attacks come from the amygdala, and your brain actually trains itself to have them, once you've started having them. It's one reason why they talk about how people who have panic attacks are actually the fastest responders in times of crisis/danger.

Sometimes I get irrationally angry just before cooking. 2 weeks ago I hadn't ate in 48 hours and was in the kitchen trying to think of something to make. The next thing i knew I was punching things and screaming at myself.

Ended up chugging down 2 liters of water, then proceeding to freak out at the 4.4 pounds of water weight I just put on. So I said fuck it, taped up my bleeding knuckles and slept for 18 hours.

Jello or gelatin.

I remember during my last phase of my extreme weight loss 300 pounds to 140 in 5 and half months that I started getting these blackouts. Like I would get really dizzy, then start to shake, then forget what I was doing and really simple stuff. Like counting, It took me minutes to get past 10.

Worst case scenario, this happened and I would collapse. Once I stood up too quickly, fainted, hit stone and started seizuring out.

That was about time I decided to end dieting and maintain.

>>8215810
Magnesium supplement + coconut oil supplement before bed.
Alternatively, just swallow a corner of high quality butter; you need some kind of fat to absorb the magnesium

It will improve your sleep and decrease your daytime twitchiness.

If your sleep cycles get disturbed, better to use melatonin to sleep earlier than try to use alarms to wake earlier.

>>8216982
Sounds like you had legit brain problems.

>>8216982
Jesus Christ, nice loss though

>>8217006

Yeah, it took some time to recover. I would be out running and trying to think about what song I would want to listen to next and I just couldn't remember the title. I had to hum the song and search the lyrics to remember the song I wanted to listen to.

It's why I never recommend doing what I did to shed the weight as fast as I could.

>Why does magnesium help sleep?
I don't know. What I do know is that you'll sleep like a stone if you take it before bed, provided it has fat to be absorbed with. Avoid magnesium oxide (again, absorption is key, and oxide absorbs poorly.)

>>8218602
Does ZMA have the same effect? I have a box laying around but it doesn't say what kind of magnesium it has. ZMA is for muscle recovery though.
