Later Day 8

I believe I have mentioned before that I have anxiety disorder. I was diagnosed with anxiety and OCD soon after our first child. I have gone on medication, completed a successful run of cognitive behavioral therapy, and have been maintaining living with panic attacks for years now. The past few years the panic attacks had gotten much worse.
Over the past two years I have been deliberately exposing myself to stessors to minimize the panic. It worked to a degree but I did hit one day where the panic wouldn't go away. I felt weak and dehyrated. I grabbed a small bit of food, because I realised I hadn't eaten properly and stayed in bed for the afternoon, just continually grabbing small bits to each and constantly drinking water. It worked, the panic went away as my blood sugar went up.
With that result, I have begun to focus on what my body tells me it needs and by supplying that, I have made the panic almost non-existent. This is where I began drinking water regularly and making sure my blood sugar didn't drop with snacking.

Over the past year my life has gotten busier with my AVON business running so successfully. The snacking has gained me weight, and finally ended up being not enough. The vitamins I was taking was also not enough. I was craving fresh vegetables and fruit, but it wasn't enough. With drinking the YJ over the past week, I have lost that lowest level of anxiety that I always carried with me. My back muscles have already released most of their tension. I think I have found the perfect vehicle to deliver what my body has been crying out for. Wow, sounds melodramatic but this is how I feel, soooo cool!!
