Oops unhealthy choices with anxiety

When my anxiety is sky high I struggle to make healthy or well thought out decisions for myself.

I used to run marathons so know how to do the “healthy” lifestyle thing. But have seen myself deteriorate when things get tough.

I are hot chips and a bag of licorice for dinner tonight because that’s what sort of happened. I stayed in bed all day even though it was beautifully sunny outside. Ill let my hands and lips crack because I can’t feel worthy of looking after them.

Its just a share but if you can relate and feel like sharing as well please reply. Xx

oh hi there meowface

thanks for posting ..and welcome to this forum....yeah I can so relate

I am so ashamed of myself ...hahah like totally ..i eat junk to tame my anxiety..horrendous. and the other week..finished a bottle of chocolate sauce like in two or three days...I was mortified...and so was my 12 year old son..and he said ...oh it must have been really good...hahaha and it was.

So thanks for posting and reminding me that it is important to look after myself. I am doing a shop tomorrow

and I be sure to avoid the junk aisles. keep it out of the house. and just stock up on fruits and veggies.
