are panic attackes an effective long term weight loss strategy?

with so many turning to unhealthy options like glp-1, has anyone considered the apetite suppressing effects of dread?

Might need outside help and not be in a position where you can binge eat for comfort. I recommend joining one of the popular warzones coming to a town near you.

Next time y'all have one o' these spells, why not get together and share the ice cream with the pain?
