What medication can help severe focusing problems, and binge eating to relieve anxiety?
I am having severe problems with focusing, racing thoughts, unable to stay on task at work or at home, to the point that it's debilitating. So, now I am binge eating constantly to make myself feel better, with no luck. What is wrong with me, and do I need a medication to relieve the symptoms? I've eaten 4 large candy bars today - that's 52 grams of fat, 88grams of carbs..... I feel like I'm having a heart attack...... please help!!

Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com. I hope you are feeling a bit better today.
I agree, binge eating and eating all those candy bars is not the best way to handle stress and in the end, it doesn't take away the worrying, just adds to it, because now, on top of what you were worried about, you are worrying about eating too!
It sounds like it is time for you to talk with your doctor about your symptoms. I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give ou advice or diagnose your symptoms, but normally, if your symptoms interfere with your daily activities (and it sounds as if yours are), it is time to see a doctor.
Some of what you describe is similar to what other people describe when having anxiety attacks, but again, it would be impossible to say without a doctor seeing you.

I hope this helps. Please let me know how you are doing.
