I can't think of a most random moment, but I do relate to the food causing anxiety part. I have been taught from a young age to look at my blood sugar, how I eat, and how it affects my mood. When I was "sad" as a little kid, one of the first things my dad would ask me was if I had eaten anything. I was taught to drink green tea because the caffeine is less anxiety causing than coffee. A lot of emotional problems were linked back to hormonal or physical defects (sure works well to teach your daughter that when you are a single father and relating to being a female can be at times rather hard). The thing is I needed more than just that tool to help keep me happy.

I remember there was this one time where i drank an ungodly amount of iced tea. I woke up in the middle of the night. The world was ending.

Yesterday, I was interviewing for a Electrical Tech position with the owner of the company. I could tell that the guy was not interested in me by an e-mail he had sent to me right before the interview that morning.

We were both just going through the motions and I was having a terrible panic attack. I was talking through roaring ears and on and off blackness entering my vision.

I thought, maybe this guy will call an ambulance if I fall out as I was sitting there telling him calmly about my credentials. For some reason he started telling me about his recent knee operation, interesting. No idea!

Then I thought oh well, might as well ride out this wave and I did. I started getting better in less than five minutes. My internal clock is always spot on.

I do not even feel bad that I didn't get the job. I knew he was going to hire a guy. I could read him like a book. He was still a nice guy though.

What it taught me is that my thoughts are really messing with me and I am starting to gain the ability to control those thoughts and tell them "No, go away" and they listen and go away or at least not be such a bother.

I think food really does affect your mood. Junk food and caffeine make me feel like crap which triggers anxiety.

I read that your can re-train your brain with challenging negative thoughts, practicing positive affirmations and being mindful. Thoughts and emotions are two seperate things although sometimes hard to determine which comes first for me personally. You can control your emotions but it takes time and discipline. Catching the negative thoughts, and re-framing is a great tool to stop the cycle from going full circle! It takes 21 days to change a habit.

I listen to my MP3 player at night before going to sleep with positive things like Louis Hayes "Power Thoughts" and some Christian Meditation downloads. It has helped me a lot!

I tend to go off the deep end when my kids get sick or my husband or myself. I automatically assume the worst so I am working on that. I remind myself that "Everthing really will be OK" and "This will pass"

When I sprained my ankle Christmas day at my moms I automatically freaked out. I was sitting in the driveway (where it happened) and my mind just kept flashing images of me with one leg. For some reason I thought for sure I was going to loose my leg when I knew it was just a simple sprain... ugh.

All of things happened to Me Bad from Childhood on to Adulthood. In 2004 & 2005 I got Robbied at Gunpoint where I worked. I dealt with in until 2009. Everything came Chasing Down. I guess all the Tramic I was suffering decide it was time to Shout Me Down. My Mom' s Boyfriend got Really Back Sick. When The Ambulance Came they Checked Him Out. He ended Up Dieing on US. The EMT"s brought Him Back. My mom & I went to the Hospital then came Home Late. She wanted to sit on the Porch. I told Her Noooo. We are not sitting on the Porch so We finally went in. That 's when I had on first Anxiety Attack. It feel like I was about to Die. Sometimes I still have Anxiety Attacks but they are getting Alittle Bit Less.

Caffeine triggers my anxiety too! and I didnt realize it until the one day I was finished drinking my coffee and bam I started having an attack but thankfully I talked myself out of!
