Well now.
This has been interesting today.
Due to being grocery-challenged from time to time, Jody has been eating toast and peanut butter for breakfast, tomato sandwiches for lunch and spaghetti for dinner the last two days.
I don't do well with these foods. Even a great homemade spaghetti sauce doesn't change it I'm afraid.
I started feeling it yesterday, a head fog and what we in the armchair psychologist peanut gallery used to call "free-floating anxiety". I knew what it was and that helped a bit. But by today it had gotten worse, along with pain deep in the pit of my gut, heart palpitations and vibrations in my arms.
Tonight was a change for the better, steak and mushrooms, and yellow beans with butter. But, it had still been a day and a half eating symptom-inducing foods and by this evening, after a protein, fat and veg. dinner, I was still paying the piper till a few minutes ago.
Panic attack. Royal, want-to-curl-in-a-ball-and-cry-for-Mommy panic attack. Holy cats. Even knowing what it was, it was still a wild ride. Major feeling? Terror.
Yeah. Food-induced terror. Weird. I've had it before. And until I changed my diet 7 yrs ago I had it most of the time.
Man! That stuff is BAD for me. Gotta find a way to be able to stay away from it.
