Hi Chestnut. When I first had panic attacks back in 2012, I couldn’t eat anything at one point. My throat would be clenched shut so bad, no food would get in. I had lost a lot of weight too. I couldn’t sleep either which added to my troubles. I had to read like a crazy person to understand what the panic attack was trying to communicate to me: I needed to take better care of myself and reduce my stress. I also think you should definitely speak to a therapist about this. You need to know how to relax your body enough to be able to eat. And therapy is very, very helpful and successful at treating panic attacks. I have almost no panic attacks now. But I needed to learn the right tools to get here. Please get yourself a therapist if you’re able to do so!
I used to not eat much at one sitting i think it was my anxiety it was five years ago
