I already suffer from GAD, but the last few days I’ve been on the edge of a panic attack and I just can not freaking relax. No insurance, and broke for prescriptions or even OTC meds; so wondering if there’s some kind of fruit/veggie or tea that might help a little bit. I hate this god damn feeling.

    Try fasting. Wake up, have coffee or whatever, water, but no food. Nothing all day. In the evening, eat a couple of raw carrots if you can. Next morning, have some yogurt, small lunch, small dinner.

    I dunno why this works for me, but I suspect it draws unconscious, autonomic anxiety from the nebulous mass of all possible problems and focused on one simple, easy to solve problem - hungry.

    Like how slamming your fingers in a door can make your knee pain go away for a bit.
