What meds did they start you on for anxiety ? I was prescribed propranolol 10mg. 3 times a day. I wasn't sure if I wanted something so permanent. My mother took meds and she called them nerve pills. I have no clue what it was as she has passed. Occasionally she gave me a 1/2 pill and it did calm me. The propranolol slows your heart rate. What I found from that was exercise was harder for me. That stressed me too. I am not sure the long term effects. I have been on it for 3-4 years. More recently I have had anxiety return temporarily, occasionally . I learned to self talk, telling myself that I felt that way last time and I survived and nothing bad happened. Before propranolol I would exhaust myself walking as that helped me with anxiety. But I also slept very little, like 2-3 hours a day trying to deal with it. I was so tired. I finally asked my doctor for help and they sent me to behavioral health. No sessions, one visit and they prescribed propranolol. I am still not perfect, but I sleep more which helps everything else. I too have fatty liver and now diabetes.
I was told I had elevated enzymes 30 years ago. I didn't lose weight till this year because of diabetes. I changed my diet and dropped my A1C from 10 back to just under six in three months. I have been slipping on food again and hope I don't go way back up again. I struggle daily as I get bored with food, but feel hungry. I hope your meds help, if not try something else. One note on propranolol-if you try it you will need your doctor to wean you off of it. I don't know why that is what I read. Hang in there and hopefully you have a friend or neighbor that can help you with a listening ear. I learned that alot of people struggle with anxiety. I met a guy I worked with that would go to the emergency room every week because his anxiety felt overwhelming. He appreciated some one that could relate. I spent many nights just talking with him till he would fall asleep.
