[quote:IndigoSerenity76:MV8yMDk0NzMzXzM1Mjc5OTU5Xzc3RDUxRg==] [quote:Zerubbabel:MV8yMDk0NzMzXzM1Mjc4NzYwX0UwQTQ3NDE3] What you're doing is not fasting. Fasting takes focus and purpose. The problem is the anxiety. This is what must be addressed. If it is heartsickness, it can cause all kinds of problems. If it is a true anxiety attack, you can feel like you are dying. Most who have anxiety attacks feel like they can just lay back their head and slip into unconsciousness. The normal problems of life don't usually produce the kind of anxiety you are talking about. This is a CONDITION that may have nothing to do with the attacks. It may just be the trigger. The most pressing problem you may have with the fast is that your body NEEDS nourishment to battle this condition. This is not a fast for spiritual reasons. The worst that you may experience from the fast, itself, is perhaps the toxins in your body accumulating on your tongue. The attacks may exacerbate the toxins even in your pores and you become "sour" from the unnatural excretion of bodily fluids. The feeling of the heart attack is from the FEAR of the unnatural emotions running through your body. Usually there is no actual reason to fear that you will die. But it is very difficult to get control over the racing thoughts which are fed by the adrenaline. I won't even go into the REASONS for the anxiety. Often that is very personal and most don't or or unable to discuss the underlying reasons. The season is often an underlying reason, but often there are deep-seated reasons that run the who gamut of psychological reasons from past abuse, present abuse, or just simple introversion and aversion to stress. Nothing or no one is worth suffering this--no matter how deeply you feel for them. You need to address this problem and you need to address it NOW. Sometimes it helps to know that people care. since I am spiritually minded, earnest prayer can help and getting into the Scriptures can help to slow you down. Professional help can be helpful or just call a helpline to help talk you through it. Be at peace dear heart. Every person I have ever met with this condition has a dear heart that often gets hurt beyond what most can see or feel. Don't be alone if at all possible. Loneliness is a heart killer. Aloneness with with no one to share it with is a mind killer. Mr prayer is with you dear one. I don't just know OF your pain. I can feel it too. [/quote] Thank you. :hf:. It definitely wasn't intentional fasting. Just can't stomach food because of the constant panic. It is due to circumstances, it isn't just a normal day. I have been calling on everyone and praying as much as possible. It is pretty much all I do anymore. This was an awesome reply and made me wanna cry. :hugs: [/quote]

Just some questions about fasting if anyone has the answers, I would appreciate it. Thanks :).
So, I haven't eaten since Thursday. It wasn't intentional, just some things going on made it unable for me to eat. I know people do this intentionally so I don't know what harm there is in it. I am still relatively hydrated. I have heard that we can go a long time without food. I'm just wondering how long before it starts to be a problem for our organs.
Also, in this situation, I am in a constant state of panic, so I am going off of adrenaline at all times. Sometimes it actually feels like I may have a heart attack. The panic is what is preventing me from eating, but I just want to make sure that the lack of food isn't going to physically harm me yet.
