An anxiety update

Six anxiety free posts later it's time for an update. I had a panic today, a moment of uncontrollable crying, an 'omg, where's the Valium!' experience. This only lasted 10 or so minutes which is fantastic considering I have had these last many, many, *sigh* many hours. After eating some good, healthy food I felt much better, my panics and tears subsided. Although, for the rest of the day I felt the anxiety just on the surface and had to work hard to keep it away, work hard to keep away my strong desire to drink. Something as insignificant as a few pieces of clothing on my floor would stress me out and I'd have to calm myself from that. Right now I feel sick because I ate so many weetbix and toast today. Why did I eat so much weetbix and toast? Because it's very unfortunately what I do when the anxiety hits. Although, among all this bleak talking, there is a reason my last 6 posts haven't been about the anxiety. I have mostly been great, getting through my day with little or minimal anxiety and only the rare panic. It's probably time to move on from reporting on when I panic and what it feels like, and start doing work on what is causing it and prevention. Watch this space.
