Has anyone dealt with it? I have occasional anxiety as part of my bipolar and a frequent symptom is being unable to eat. I usually can drink liquids but not eat solid food. At the same time, I do feel hunger. And then hunger spikes anxiety further, as I feel intense fear that I would not be able to feed myself and just feel those awful and worsening hunger pains.
Most of the time I am OK, but when this happens, it is really bad. I also had periods in the past when anxiety made it impossible to eat anything but comfort foods, such as rice pudding or mashed potatoes. Normally I do not eat high carb foods but when anxious, I need them, not for their carb content but for their soothing texture. Anyone experiences that? __________________ Bipolar I w/psychotic features Last inpatient stay in 2018 Geodon 40 mg Seroquel 75 mg Lybalvi 5 mg as a PRN Gabapentin 1200 mg, Vitamin B-complex (against extrapyramidal side effects) Long term side effects from medications some of them discontinued: - hypothyroidism - obesity Suspected narcolepsy Treated with Ritalin 5mg |
