Juicing fruits and vegetables for anxiety and panic disorder

[Wirres]

Just wondering about any one having any success with juicing of there symptoms. I have read about amino acid and magnesium can you get enough from fresh food. Just thinking of kill two birds with one stone, getting the vitamins and nutrition at once.

I can't speak for everyone but for me, it's helped tremendously. I watched fat sick and nearly dead and decided to do it. I didn't just juice but i did transition to a plant based diet. It's been a couple months. I've had one panic attack only yay and my anxiety has lowered significantly. It took time but I don't lie awake at night anymore wondering if my heart will stop at any second for any ridiculous reason. My friends and family thought I was crazy (being from Alabama, meat is everything here) but seeing the improvement is undeniable. You can turn the juice into smoothies for a better taste also. Add some ice and almond or coconut milk. I make one with cucumber, kale, celery, 2 green apples, half lemon.

My anxiety is out of control along with panic attacks, how bad was your condition before juicing?

Wirres, that is a great question for Evanchic! I drink smoothies all the time, consume tons of fruits and vegetables, but unfortunately for me, I cannot function without a small amount of medication. I just have a lot of anxiety that I have to keep under control. Still, the fruits and vegetables help! As far as the amino acids or magnesium, I would think you would have to eat tons of fruits and vegetables to get the amount you could get in a tablet. Try what Evanchic says, if that doesn't work, see a therapist.

My anxiety began around august last year. It began with heart skipping beats then I stood up and had a panic attack. Everyday, all day after that, I had attacks. It got to the point I could barely move off the couch. Literally I would have an attack just walking across the room. Naturally I thought I was dying every day. Whenever I left the house I'd ALWAYS end up at the fire station BC I didn't think I could make it to hospital... and they run ekg for free lol i mean heart racing, dizziness, hands drawing up, tingling all over, light headed, nausea, weakness, sweating. so all these medical people kept telling me I was fine. Pardon my language but it would just piss me off cause I knew better. Docs tried generic Celexa, it made my body burn and anxiety worse.

That doc gave up on me and told me to see a psychiatrist. Then it took turn for the worse BC all the physical symptoms and I didn't understand mentally... eventually had suicidal thoughts so i went to another doc. She took an hour just talking to me. Saw a cardiologist. Got the all clear. Still didn't ease my mind. Still had problems. Spoke to a therapist. It helped a little bit.

So i watched fat sick and nearly dead. By that time, I'd convinced myself that i had every disease and condition known to man. I'm serious. Cancer, brain aneurysm, blood clot in legs and arms, heart issues, stroke, diabetes. I thought I had it all or it was coming soon and I was gonna die. Everyday I'm gonna die. Today is the day. Negative Nancy. Anyway so I watched the movie and the guy made sense... why can't our bodies heal from the inside? I quit smoking (warning... makes anxiety worse! But I was convinced the next cigarette would kill me)

That's how bad my anxiety was. I do guided meditation from time to time also when I feel it creeping up on me. Nip it in the bud before it starts.
