stress n anxiety are agents of destruction. they make u less mobile, less stable, less open, less functional, less efficient, less productive, less happy...and less you
i've had lots of anxiety since high school days. it didn't show but it'd affected me in many ways. later it even bagan to show. those who i lived with, i didn't wait for them to ask. i told them what and how it was. by telling others one's anxiety, by itself, would've relieved stress or anxiety somewhat
then in graduate school, i went on vegetarian diet for a while and in 6 weeks i'd lost 15 pounds. a strange thing then happened: my anxiety level went down sustantially. i'd thought vegetalbes were the reason
but now i know better. i'd lost 30 pounds since operation, mainy thru diet: almost no salt/oil, mostly boiled/steamed, very little meat. n anxiety again has diminished
