It's really weird but I seem to more easily get panic attacks if I haven't eaten yet that day. I wonder if this has something to do with it as well.

Well everyone, even "normies", accepts that "hangry" is a thing. So it really shouldn't be surprising that our eating habits are so directly related to our mood and state of mind.

i'd imagine that's more down to the simple fact of having readily available energy in your body, plus stuff like food being comforting.
