Trouble eating and sleeping

[jdawgzy]

I've been having a lot of trouble getting any food in my stomach throughout the day and getting to bed regularly. I'm sure the two may be related to eachother, but i don't know how to fix either them. When eating, i sometimes think about swallowing food too much and get a fear of choking. It makes me eat very slow and a lot of times a just give up.
I've had trouble sleeping with anxiety and depression for about 1-2years now. When i don't get my sleep, i worry about it and it makes me feel sick feeling all day. If i get too much, i get depressed about how much of the day i missed. Rarely do i ever get as much as i want, even when using an alarm clock. This morning i woke up in panic and it was one of the worst, but shortest panic attacks i have ever had. I swear my vision was turning sideways when i was trying to stand up.

OMG I thought I was the only one with the eating problem. I can be sooooo thirsty and not be able to drink anything. My thanksgiving was ruined because I was afraid of choking I just GAVE UP! I have been having bouts of anxiety that keep me from eating and I will shake with the fork in my hand. I also have not slept in my own bed in weeks. I have been sleeping on the couch because it's on the other side of the wall as my parents room. It very discouraging. I haven't found a way to get over the eating thing yet.
