Y'all, this shit is a bitch. I have really bad physical responses to anxiety and this latest bout has gone on for almost a month now (the last episode was about 2 years ago.) I am constantly starving but losing weight, my heart rate is high, I haven't slept without medication in weeks. I am in therapy twice a week and my Dr tells me I have acute stress.

I have good days and bad one and sometimes nights are utter hell. My body kept me up last night with the starving feeling... Then my heart and head finally followed suit when I decided to smoke weed.

I have started meds before but I know I let my anxiety get the best of me and got bad side effects. I am going into this with an open mind and understanding that these days may be hard before they're consistently easier.

Anyway, help motivate me and help me feel like I won't fall apart literally.
