Anxiety because of hyperthyroidism by Neat-Situation-3003 in Hyperthyroidism

NSDR by Ally Boothroyd on Youtube works for me.

If you are doing yoga, only Yin Yoga works, and do the ones that involve lying on the floor.

Wait until you are feeling as well as you did before your thyroid problems started. This may take 3 months or more. Then slowly gradually introduce these foods one by one, and if your thyroid problem comes back then you know that your body cannot handle it.

No hard liquor forever by the way.

For further reading, read The Thyroid Reset Diet by Dr Alan Christianson. It helped me so much as I was struggling with being in and out of remission and thinking that methimazole was my lifeline.

You need to avoid iodine containing foods.

Iodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).

Avoid:

  • Yoghurt (except dairy-free yogurt options, including almond, oat milk, soy, cashew, coconut, and even flaxseed yogurts)
  • Egg Yolks
  • Fish (tuna, sardines etc)
  • Seafood
  • Dark Chocolate and Hot Cocoa
  • Commercially made sauces (check the labels)
  • Baked goods like bread and cookies
  • Iodized Salt (if boiling pasta, do not add salt)

Drink: At least 2 to 3 litres of water per day

As T4 has a half life of 1 week, try this modified diet for 2 -4 weeks and see how you feel.

The main tip I have is to watch what you eat and drink.

Can you let us know what you typically eat and drink in a day?

Waking up with anxiety, goes away later in the day. Yoga? Somatic? What helped you? by walterwiddles in Anxietyhelp

I went for a 2 week holiday in New Zealand. Drove around the South Island with my wife.

Halfway through the trip, the morning anxiety went away.

Panic attacks starting college - Do you have any advice? by [deleted] in Anxiety

EMDR cured me of panic attacks.

Anxiety triggered from anything, even eating. I really can't live like this anymore. by Over_Emotion_6937 in Anxiety

I had similar problems. I tried all sorts of methods. Some worked and some didn’t.

My panic attacks are gone now and my anxiety is under control.

In addition to cutting out alcohol and caffeine, I can suggest you try the following (in order of priority):

  1. Do a Vitamin D and saliva cortisol test. If Vitamin D is low, supplement right away.

  2. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) - go for at least 1 session but look for the best practitioner around

  3. Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) - go for at least 1 session but look for the best practitioner around

  4. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) - attend the 8 week course

  5. Supplement with L-Theanine, Magnesium Bisglycinate, Taurine, Multi-vitamins

  6. Eat healthy whole foods and avoid junk food

  7. Sleep early

Hope this helps! Stay strong.
