food intake/anxiety correlation

Posted by b2chica on October 6, 2011, at 9:21:51

finally had pdoc appt on mon.
he upped perphenizine slightly at night.
he seems to think part of my issue of anxiety are my eating habits.
i seem to peak anxiety mid-morning and late evening (after babies are asleep) i told him i think the anxiety is there around 7:00 but because i'm so busy i dont notice it as much. then when all is quiet it hits with vengence.

he told me he thinks it has a lot to do with my eating habits. as when my anxiety is bad in the day i cant eat very well or much.
he talked about transporter proteins and how my body needs these with the medication.
So he wants me to eat better...More.
but he said i need to find foods that i enjoy eating as he said "you even sound blah as you described your lunch (that i couldnt eat). You need to find foods you enjoy, fruits, veggies, etc."
So i need to go back to eating high protein breakfast, mid morning snack, light lunch, mid afternoon snack, light dinner and he also wants me to try evening snack.
Man I'd gain so much weight on this...
the bad thing is i'm just not hungry at these times. especially the mid afternoon and evening. But he said even if its a bit of cheese or something.

What do you all think of this. Those of you with anxiety, does eating more often help you out at all?

I mean i completely believe my pdoc in theory, but not sure if it will work for me.
just wondering if anyone else has been told this?
