[QUOTE="copilost, post: 2277424, member: 510611"] no it isn't :) there's a lot of us about who have anxiety and get it. we worry about stuff, then we worry about the worry, then we worry the worry is masking things we should be worrying about. it's exhausting and frustrating. you sound like you're aware of the anxiety complications and dealing with them, it's not easy. I agree with Jo that a meter will help unless you also have ocd, in which case it might not (you're going to worry about that aren't you?). If it is early indications of T2 diabetes/insulin resistance then you can address it with diet. Changing diet to drop lots of carbs, processed foods, seed oils etc isn't a bad thing anyway. Just because you're anxious doesn't mean your worries are groundless. That said first stop is to address your anxiety because then you are in a better position to deal with everything else. Really sorry to hear about your relationship breakdown and work pressures, these are very real things that require as much attention as body health but are, in my experience, harder to "fix". Can you seek out support for the anxiety, honestly no one should have to live with it and at 23 (you youthful thing you) it will transform your life if you can find (better) ways to manage it.
