hi there Becki !

I just happened to be browsing around the forums and decided to stop here and saw your post.. since you said any help I decided to post .. ( insert grin here)

now I don't know anything about you other than what you posted but I do know what it is like to deal with anxiety and blood Sugar problems

did that panic attack cause your agoraphobia ? ongoing anxiety that starts out suddenly could be caused from a medical condition or vitamin deficiency particularly the b vitamins and vit d all of which affect mood. since you used to drink alcohol that can in itself cause anxiety especially when you just up and stop drinking cold turkey but not likely to cause ongoing anxiety unless like I mentioned earlier you have a vitamin deficiency . and from what I gather you diet wasnt that healthy at all at the time .not sure what it is like now

anxiety can raise blood Sugar temporarily due to the fight or flight response where all of your senses become super stimulated and ready for action.. your muscles tense up and you stomach secretes more acid also ..after your body realizes there is no threat you crash . your blood Sugar drops and you become really tired .if it crashes too far and your liver is not able to pump out more glycogen for you to use it can cause hypoglycemia which can feel like anxiety all over again .. when it gets bad you get the cold sweats and start to shake and feel like you are going to just pass out or die . can it raise your cortisol levels ? it sure can .

I havent posted on this forum in a long time but have since done loads of research on anxiety and its causes .. and I wanna tell you there are many !!

a little history on me
mine started after a car wreck in 96 so I have been dealing with them ever since ..first they were off an on ..then becoming constant ..tried xanax but that only caused more problems than it helped ..took 6 long months to get off them and I wouldnt recommend them to anyone long term .

thinking that I needed to be committed I went to the doctor as a last resort which they offered no real solutions for me except more drugs which I refused . I insisted that they check my vitamin d levels and lo and behold mine came back at 25 !!! half of what they should be !! since then it has been a struggle to get my numbers where they should be but the change in my mental state has turned around so much so that I would consider myself normal now for the most part ..unless I try to cleanse or something then everything gets bad for me again . Vit d deficiency also has been related to diabetes too ! not saying this is what is going on with you but its definately worth checking into ..

I also know that neck problems due to an accident /injury can cause anxiety and whole host of other problems which also is part of my problem too


noticed you have type 1 diabete is that correct ?

sounds like you have some hormones outta whack there for sure . progesterone is a calming hormone ! so you may need to get a thorough hormone blood/urine panel to find out what ,hows and whys of what is going on with you

also you could have a gut flora imbalance which can cause all kinds of problems too ..including mental

you didnt mention your age either

I can only give you some advice on what has helped me the most - I hope it helps you

cut out all sugar - sugar can ramp up your anxiety and make things worse for you
cut out all breads for now - same as above
eat only fresh veggies ,brown rice ,sweet potatoes ,real butter ,extra virgin olive oil, good meats
organic whenever possible
I ate snacks of popcorn made with light olive oil and real butter
I used stevia to sweeten my lemon water to make me some lemonade which I drank every day and stevia is good for diabetics too

cutting out the sugar and breads for me helped my anxiety a lot as in the first day !

I really wish you the best sweetie
sounds like you are really going through a hard time but you will get through this

do some research of your own and get educated as that will help you a great deal . you need to know everything possible

everyone has all kinds of advice but you have to choose what is best for you but you cannot possibly choose the right things to do if you don't know all the options that are out there for you

if you need anyone to talk to or you wanna message me then feel free as I will help you anyway that I can

many blessings

I would guess that part of your problems are due to withdrawal from using alcohol but since you have type 1 autoimmune diabetes some other things are going on, too. A person inherits a predisposition to developing type 1 diabetes and some environmental factors trigger the onset of the disease. In a significant number of people with T1D the predisposition to develop a gluten sensitivity, Celiac Disease, also occurs carried with the same gene inherited from parents. You have been tested for autoantibodies to insulin as part of your diagnostic work-up but you may not have been tested for Celiac Disease if you did not have symptoms at that time. So the first step would be to have the tests for CD and see if that problem has been triggered. (See http://www.celiac.com
for more information). Even if you do not test positive for CD recent studies have shown that people with autoimmune diabetes do better following a strict gluten free diet. You must continue to eat gluten foods until the tests are done.

If you are interested in using alternative treatments see the featured programs for improving your health at the Liver Flush Support Forum tho there are other programs here at Curezone and online. Dr. Hulda Clark devised a treatment plan for diabetes that is effective for many diabetics.

Hi freebird.

Not sure what you have tried, but I also tried so many things before I hit gold with curing my PTSD.

Here they are:

1. Siberian Chaga Mushroom. It is at the top succeeding and blowing away all other foods in the the ORAC value system. Helps virtually with everything, one being balancing blood sugar, pressure, hormones, detoxing liver, strengthening immune system, giving energy, improving mood, nerval tonic etc. This really really helped me. I bought mine at Sayan Health.

2. Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) with or without a practitioner. Try going to your Library as they might have books on anxiety recipe. I have applied myself and on my own too, with success. Works very fast. Also will work on alcohol addiction. For me, dissolved a phobia in one 40 minute session completely. Never came back.

3. Neurolink NIS - what can I say.. it works AmaZing.
Can find a practitioner at the website address:
http://www.neurolinkglobal.com


4. Be Still and Know meditation (listen for FREE)
Life changing. Teaches how to observe thoughts and feelings and become aware,calm and objective to yourself, others, circumstances... and Happy. Also will work on alcohol addiction.

5. Healing Codes (the manual with the 24(?) different codes
Really works. I use the Kindness code for the nervous system often.

6. Attractor Field Codes
This is not something I have used very much,and were not a part of my healing BUTt I think it may have merit and looks promising, as it uses Acupuncture points. Certainly much easier than EFT, and it's also FREE.

Make sure you are eating as well as possible - very important -NO junk !! 'Dr. Wilson's Adrenal Power' powder muscle tested very good for me. You may benefit from that.. Eliminate as much stress as you are able to, and set good boundaries. The meditation will help with that, as well as the accompanying book "How your mind will keep you well".

Hope you find something here that can help you.

Take care

I've been dealing with similar problems for a long time.

There is only one thing that can help you, and that's turning to Jesus Christ.

A lot of the stuff on this site will help little things here and there, but nothing on this site has been able to overcome what I'm dealing with, and some stuff was just flat-out bad advice.

There are a lot of sick people here, but as long as you think it's in your power to overcome your disease, you will continue striving, trying this and that, etc. And who knows?, maybe your illness will go into some sort of remission, and you'll feel empowered and as though you have control over your life.

But maybe you'll try this and that, and it won't work, and you'll try more options, and then what does help you starts harming you, and you'll loose more and more safe options, until you have nothing left at all. Just a fearful prospect while stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Or you'll have a crisis, or several, that brings you seemingly on the brink of death.

And then you'll realize that no herb, or pill, or cleanse, or therapist, or doctor, or device, or all the money in the world, or anything in the world at all can help you in those moments. Nothing can help in THOSE moments, except GOD.

Then you'll either quit, or you'll start seeking help directly from the Great Physician and Creator himself.

I'm not saying any of this to be cynical, but in my experience it's reality, and I had to learn the hard way - and my learning continues.

It's completely in God's hands.

It would have been great if I would have known this years ago, but I had to go through much suffering before I started realizing this.

The good news is that it is ALWAYS God's will for us to be healed. And apparently he isn't going to heal you because you're good, and he's not going to withhold healing because you're bad. It has nothing to do with you, but rather, everything to do with what Jesus Christ did for us all 2000 years ago.

Now, I'm not saying any of this just to make you or anyone who reads this post feel good. A lot of people have "spirituality" and "religion" and all kinds of things that are absolutely useless when you need POWER in your life. Things like "Chicken Soup for the Heart" or whatever those books are called won't do jack squat when you're in extreme pain and panicking.

It's in those moments that we need REAL POWER flowing into our lives. REAL POWER from the CREATOR. The same POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT that split the Red Sea, and rose Jesus from the dead.

Start reading the Bible, which is the written Word of God.

Here's a quote that I found helpful, that puts it into perspective:


"The Word of God is more powerful than you could ever comprehend - more than a nuclear bomb, a supernova, or a black hole." - Ron Daniel


Jesus Christ made many radical statements in the Gospels, especially in John, imo. The most radical statements that I've ever seen from anyone ever actually.

Now, I'm not saying you can't try suggestions here; by all means, if you have an inclination about something, go for it.

But these things can only be helpful.

Get to know Jesus Christ. He can actually completely deliver and restore you.

Read the Bible, KJV if you can. Start renewing your mind.

You've probably heard it all before, but so what. You need help and HE can do it above what anything else can.

Peace.
