Why with Fear People Don't Eat nor Sleep Well - (2256)

Short Answer

Basically because we deny those things to ourselves when fear or anxiety is in our human machine. Read on though, to understand why…

Fear Produces Anxiety

Fear produces anxiety, and anxiety is about the anticipation of the negative effects that the consequences of something will have on us. 

That something could be unknown to us, residing deep within our subconscious or something that we do know about such as an error that we have committed or a difficult upcoming circumstance. 

In the anxious state there is a constant intruding type of "bad news'' thought, in which we think and feel that we don't deserve happiness, wellness and that includes the ability to eat and sleep. We feel that we can not have life, that it must be deprived of us or degraded somehow, and so as life is to enjoy eating, sleeping, relaxing, walking, being with friends, talking, joking etc. our ability to eat and sleep is taken from us by our own selves.

It is Our Own Selves

It is ourselves that deprives us of our own well-being, through these negative thoughts. 

Even though sometimes, everything is fine our mind believes it is not, that things will go wrong, or crumble or turn out to be a disaster.

Karmic Psychology

This type of negative thinking belongs to a karmic psychology that we have created for ourselves over the many years that we have erred and have accrued karma. 

The special strong force, that such negative thinking has over us, is due still to our unpaid karma.

The only way we can overcome this, is by paying and working very hard, bloody hard, to pay off that karma so to reduce that force of the negative thinking to a degree that we can manage it.
