Hello Amy, I found your blog through Twitter this morning and am glad I did because this post really speaks to me. I have also suffered with a mixture of anxiety and depression, ending up with a panic disorder a couple of years ago when my life almost fell apart. Fortunately it's all behind me now and life is back to normal!

One of the key things I learned on my way to getting better was how very important diet is to stable mental health. I had no idea that what we eat & drink can be so connected to things like anxiety & depression!

I think you are very right to give up the excess Dr Pepper! The caffeine withdrawal will be difficult, but in the long run it will make you feel much better. Caffeine is actually really bad for those of us who are sensitive to things like anxiety, it puts your nervous system on edge, and if you were drinking so much of it all the time I can just imagine that your nervous system was feeling very frazzled indeed! It's best to keep tea & coffee to a minimum too, especially if you're mixing sugar in with them.

I really hope you'll feel a good bit better when you give the Dr Pepper up! I have tons of info on things you can do with diet & lifestyle to help with anxiety, so if you want to get in touch you should be able to reply to this comment by email :)

I hope I haven't overstepped the mark here, it's just that I know how bad anxiety can be and my heart reaches out to any one else who suffers in the same way that I used to x
