I definitely have worse anxiety when my blood sugar drops - but I recently read that's because the body produces a surge of adrenalin to keep you going when stores are low. So make sure you keep snacking regularly! xVivre Sa Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16968916150096947866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940417678192492037.post-15053224691372635312012-04-25T15:50:26.026+01:002012-04-25T15:50:26.026+01:00Ah, well I haven't really tried them yet.

Yet if someone says they are having a party you have six weeks to worry about it and going through every situation that could possibly go wrong.<br /><br />I do wonder why I was so calm in hosp and I didn't eat for 24 hours as was Nil by Mouth but yet didn't panic at all. Yet if I am slightly hungry in any other situation I get freaked out. I don't get panic attacks I just feel anxious and sicky and I think I confuse sickness and empty tummy.<br /><br />I hate having a panicky brain. Did you have any luck with the herbal remedies from your book?<br />xrosienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940417678192492037.post-11072604323911462712012-04-23T11:41:35.440+01:002012-04-23T11:41:35.440+01:00Hi Rosie - that is so miserable - I completely sym...Hi Rosie - that is so miserable - I completely sympathise. But don't you find it reassuring that in a REALLY serious situation (i.e. hospital) you're actually very calm and collected? So if, godforbid, anything awful were actually to happen, you would actually be brilliant and calm and in control? <br /><br />My boyfriend always says that I'm absolutely amazing in a crisis or genuinely threatening situation - it's only when I've got a cold or am in a lift or something small and completely non-life-threatening that I freak out. I take some small comfort in that, although it just makes me feel more confused about what's going on inside my panicky brain!!Vivre Sa Viehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16968916150096947866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940417678192492037.post-78397664162221036302012-04-20T13:49:24.774+01:002012-04-20T13:49:24.774+01:00I totally do that, the wierd thing is when I actua...I totally do that, the wierd thing is when I actually was ill recently and was hospitalised I didn't freak out at all and was as calm as toast. <br />Yet I feel slightly peckish at bedtime and I convice myself its not hunger its sickness and I am about to be sick and eventually I vomit and spend all night freaking out.
