    Hi lewis

    Yes and I am off my food at the moment due to anxiety issues. Then worrying about not eating, or rather being scared to eat, only makes it worse. I make sure I eat one meal in the evening which is when I feel my most relaxed. Currently got bad indigestion as haven't eaten since last night but I guess I need to lose covid weight gain.

      The vision thing is horrible I know. Seems like looking through a window and nothing seems quite real. I think its called de-realisation and I get it too. I get a band of tightness around my head and nothing gets rid of it. Just waiting for the days to pass and that day finally comes when I start to feel better and can dismiss most of the negative thoughts.

      its comforting to know we arent crazy and other people do have similar symptoms. im back to obsessing over my heart/pulse again at the minute after my first random panic attack 2 months ago. was free of them for 9 years. had full mri etc on heart back then everything was fine had full bloods 2 ecgs this time but still worry something is wrong. anxiety is awful
