Hi Manson-666_,

I am so sorry you have been experiencing a tough time at the moment, it must be hard. The positive here is that you saw your doctor - the first step in helping yourself - so give yourself a hug for that one!

Anxiety does impact appetite and sleeping so I think what you are feeling is normal for someone in your position. As for medication, it can take time for it to work but it is good you are experiencing improvements. However, medication is more effective when paired with therapy. Did you speak to your doctor about potentially seeing a psychologist about your anxiety? This really helped me to get over my anxiety, it can be good to talk to a professional.

I hope things improve soon,
