Rest? Listen to your body? Anxiety surges take a HUGE amount of energy from me, I am very tired if panic attacks floor me. Use the Valium as necessary, I had it for years - I needed it before we visited family ……. I would take 5mg the night B4 and another in the morning if I felt edgy. It made me 'hung over' but at least I got through the day

Feet up! Cuppa to hand! When I couldn't eat in the 1990s I would make a hot mug of Bovril or use an Oxo cube: I would sit and hold the mug for ages before daring to drink any
, in case it made me feel worse: in fact my body was hungry - as I began to improve I would add a small amount of rice and frozen peas. It took months B4 I could eat properly. Even now I stick to safe foods …….. grilled chicken with rice is a good stand-by as are pancakes
