Question
I have been hacing anxiety attacks lately I am having trouble coping with things I have been left alone. I was fired from my job and I wake up not looking forward with nothing to do. I feel like I am losing it

Answer
Dear susan,

I am sorry to hear you have lost your job. This must have been a strain on you. It could have triggered anxiety attacks, to which you may have been at risk to start off with.

I suggest that you treat your anxiety attacks by nutritional means. This will improve your self-image and put you in a better position to handle a new job. Please read:

Going on a hypoglycemic diet is the first step in treating anxiety. Also read:
