Do you think you are linking food as an anxiety pleaser? Like you BELIEVE eating with solve your anxiety? Firstly, you will not die before you reach hospital, in fact you don't even have to visit hospital, you just have to think rationally. Eating and anxiety have no link, unless you are tricking your mind into believing that eating decreases your level of anxiety which I'm sure you know does not, anxiety is psychological and that is how it should be dealt with. I'm 21, only a year older than you, and have had ridiculous worries about what could or couldn't happen, what if I go to the hospital and take a panic attack and they lock me up? What is this, what if that... you have to sit and think about anxiety as a whole. If the medication you were taking was aggravating your stomach then that specific drug is causing painful side effects for you, head back to your GP and complain, get a new drug, never give up. As for eating, that's a completely different matter. Eat what you like when you like (unless you have a specific diet plan), but treat your anxiety as a separate issue, which it is.

Hi I agree Food has nothing to do with anxiety!! It seems to me that your using food for comfort. Its not a bad thing but you need to eat in moderation otherwise you will have extra stresses if your weight gets to high! The headaches are purely from being anxious..... I have them everyday. Anyway look after yourself and dont be to hard on yourself! Beverley

Are you diabetic? maybe your sugar is low, I'm diabetic and when my sugar is low I get headaches and get real hungry.
