Tonight I was feeling cold in the hands and feet and decided to try having a coffee with lots and sugar and milk, and also a tea spoon of unrefined coconut oil, as a little experiment. It resulted in a panic attack, but I don't know if that was a self-fulfilling prophesy (I was slightly anxious about taking it) or whether it was a genuine reaction. I still feel kind of weird, not good weird, and my feet are still freezing - but I guess I did have a bit of an adrenaline rush. Is coconut oil taken in this way likely to set off anxiety?
Another thing I wanted to ask - I find Diazepam (Valium) incredibly effective at inducing calm during a panic attack or high anxiety. Again, it's sometimes hard to tell how much of this is a placebo effect, or whether it really is just a very powerful drug. I was wondering if any of you would be able to explain to me how exactly benzodiazepines work, because I've found it hard to find a really clear explanation online, and I'm fascinated by it since it's been such a life saver for me.
