> How is your blood sugar?
It is within the reference range, but barely.
> What is your diet like?
Many supplements, not too healthy other than that. I bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables yesterday and I plan to incorporate them into my diet. I hear secondary plant substances are the way to go. And from food is bettter than supplements, although I plan to do both.
> Do you get exercise?
Yep, strength and to a slightly lesser degree endurance.
> If the above are ok, then I'd look to meds and/or mental health issues. Some meds can increase oxidative stress, but I don't know to what degree.
> High oxidative stress can be associated with high anxiety states and (if this is the cause) it can normalize when anxiety comes down. I wouldn't rely on supplements. A balanced diet (yadi-yada) is probably much more effective.

> LinkadgeI have ruminating anxiety. I obsess about everything that could go wrong every day. Maybe too much.
