Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I'm happy to let everyone know that I made it through last weekend even though I was insanely anxious about it, It actually turned out to be a really good weekend and I had little to no anxiety.. Any anxiety attacks I have had, have been easy to get through and hopefully that holds true through any more (knock on wood).. I've been able to talk myself down from a lot of anxious feelings and even distract myself when I get put in triggering situations (i've gotten through a lot of things I didn't think i'd ever be able to do normally.) I've been eating a LOT better lately and my OCD has been a lot easier to manage.. except..
Last night I ate tuna fish sandwich (It wasn't the first one I had either... I had tuna fish previously in the day or the day before) And I suddenly felt queasy a bit, I drank Mint Tea and felt better afterward.. Later at night I had noodles and did not feel the same queasiness..... I also did have a lot of junk food yesterday (Brownies, starbursts, potato chips...) Today I felt great! Except I had a brownie for breakfast and started to feel the same queasiness.. I also tried eating tuna again and it just didn't make me feel good.. Mistakenly, before dinner I had another brownie and am now feeling the same queasy feeling...
I really don't want to have an obsession that I'll feel this each time I eat, it's probably because of the junk food overindulgence.. Because I didn't feel sick when I had those noodles.. (I'm eating turkey sandwhiches tonight) ...
Any ideas to calm my anxious mind?

Eat well today and hopefully it will all pass easily.
anxiety affects the digestive systems ability to process stuff, especially fats. If you overload your system with stuff it cant digest it has to work harder and therefore you will get tired and tiredness and fatigue are a quick way to trigger anxiety. Junk food is probably one of the worst things an anxiety patient can do because of all food it invariably has the highest fat content and therefore harder to process.
