My husband just left me last week and since then, I have not eaten much. I've probably eaten as much the past week as I usually did in one day. A friend suggested Ensure but it's taken me the whole day to finish 8 ounces. Anyone have suggestions?

Has anyone else experienced this: I've been waking up with panic attacks. I'm all sweaty and my heart is beating a million miles an hour. I usually can't get back to sleep after that...I feel like I'm better off staying away than waking up like that. I'm taking xanax for anxiety related to the divorce proceedings but I'd have to take it while I'm sleeping for it to work for this problem! Any suggestions on this?

First off, I'm not an advocate of drugs... I don't like them, and I don't like taking the ones that it appears that I need to take (asthma and allergy related... and migraine control).
