Why does my Panic Disorder cause my eating disorder?

What I'm talking about is, when I started having panic attacks and learning what caused them i found one problem was what i was eating. I was fine at first eating well but all of a sudden i've become a food lable freak and starting to stay away from so many foods and now I'll only eat what basically a baby eats and its causeing me pain and making me suffer I wanna eat again but everytime I do to even have a sandwich I have a panic attack cause I think this is gonna cause one. I miss food. Any advice on what I should do?

This sounds serious if your panic attacks are cyclically causing more panic attacks and your diet is being effected you should seek medical help. I don't really believe in taking "medication" but anti-anxiety pills can help with that kinda thing. What is important is your overall health so please go see a doctor and a psychiatrist (not trying to insult you, you should see a psychiatrist before starting any kind of mind altering medication) right away so you can start eating again. normally.

It sounds like you need treatment for your anxiety disorder and your obsessions about food. Go see your doctor and get an evaluation to make sure there is nothing physically wrong with you and if not get a referral to a therapist and consider using medication to help if therapy alone does not do it. Antidepressants can be very helpful for these problems.

I'm not sure when your panic episodes started, but mine started after my eating disorder. I would have to escape after having a meal with friends or family because I would start to hyperventillate and cry. I was terrified I had made myself irreversibly fat. Then I would realize that I was sick and I'd panic that I'd never be able to eat normally and start crying uncontrollably. In recovery, after I had gotten used to eating a healthy amount, I found emotions would overwhelm me frequently. That would cause me to panic too, because I was so afraid of not having complete control of myself.

I will tell you that the attacks have been happening less and less the longer I eat healthy. I've been at a normal weight for almost two years now and I only get a bad panic attack a few times a year now compared to a couple times a week when I was still in the grips of the ed.
