Yeah, I'll give it a go - only going to do it like that cos of missing the 5pm cut of tonight. But the more I think about it it might work better for me during the working week.... I manage a team of 26 handymen based all over the country, and some days can get pretty fraught. I thought perhaps doing lunch to lunch might keep me from struggling too much, as one day I'll have breakfast in my belly, so if I make sure I have plenty (porridge and toast) and maybe a mid morning snacky thing it should see me through and the next day I've only got to wait till 12 to eat..?
I dunno I can only try, I'll keep an update in my diary. Think I'll weigh daily for a week to see what occurs, if its not good I'll move to 5-5
Anxiety is debilitating - I've suffered for about 12 years on and off, originally due to a bad break up. But it's always been there, laying in wait for the next drama to occur. Even a bad hangover used to produce symptoms. The most recent bout was brought on by stressful work situation. I try to look at it as a bit of a positive sign, even if I'm subconsciously worrying about something I start to get breakthrough symptoms which forces me to take control and rectify whatever it is.
