Thanks all for your input here - some of them I hadn't even thought about!
I'm only new to anxiety... mine has only started just over a month ago, so I'm fairly new to it all. That said however, where I find myself today, I allow myself to be proud of, as it is only due to the amount of time and effort I've put into my recovery. My partner is going through a really tough time, and is in a very bad place - we have two beautiful little girls that cant' afford for both mummy and daddy to be emotionally absent, so I couldnt' allow myself to delay in recovery. I'm not 100% today, but I'm 80%, and 80% is something I'm proud of. My residual food worries and relapse bouts of anxiety are my next challenge..
I've found a few things that have really helped me. Number one was Bronwyn Fox and her book "Power over Panic" - the first few days after my initial panic attack were horrible. I was a shadow, constantly locked within my own body assessing symptoms and waiting for the next attack to come... a constant wreck of nerves, nausea and anxiety... On the third day, completely dispondent and wondering how anyone can survive feeling this way, I found a website that was really really helpful with lots of good stuff on it. On this site, they recommended Bronwyn's book, so I rang the library and literally forced myself to go there and borrow it... By the end of that day I had finished the book (I didn't put it down!) and felt sooo much better!! By the end of that week I was almost back to normal. I've relapsed a few times, most recently for 3 days over the weekend just gone, however I find that just reading her book is as good as a tranquiliser for calming my mind and nerves. It may not work for everyone, but I personally recommend at least trying it! Her main emphasis is on loosing the fear of the anxiety and attacks, and therefore disarming and disempowering it. I have had around three attacks since reading it, and although they're just as strong as my initial attacks, I was able to detach myself from them and not get caught up in them, and because I wasn't empowering them with fear, they passed within 30 seconds... I would rather not have any attacks at all, but if I do have them, then I would much rather this than my initial ones which lasted for hours and had me sitting in the emergency department at the hospital sure I was going to die!
I now meditate almost every day - I try for every day, but I don't beat myself up too much about it if I miss out. The method of meditation in Bronwyn's book works for me as well, and she says only to do it for 20 minutes - preferably twice a day, however I've settled for once a day as I find I fall asleep if I try morning meditation. This might come later... If I'm getting frustrated because my mind keeps wandering, I stop. I don't get dissapointed in myself, I just reason that next time will be better... Meditation is beneficial in a miriad of ways, however Bronwyn uses it as a technique to learn relaxation, and more importantly, as a way of becoming aware of your thoughts and not getting caught up in them. You find when meditating that your mind will constantly have thoughts going through it, she teaches to allow them to be and pass through, but not get caught up in them - something which we can bring out of the meditation and back into our normal lives. If an anxiety or panic thought comes into your mind, you allow it to be there but don't get caught up or indulge in it, you just acknowledge that it's there and then allow it to continue passing through... because you're not giving power to the thought, it just goes and doesn't manifest into anxiety symptoms or panic...
I'm currently still focusing on Mindfullness Meditation, which is about living in the present moment.
Exercise, as has been said here already, is also really good. I've also cut out caffeine entirely which, considering how much I love my coffee, is a big step... I'd like to get back to having just one a day, but I'll settle for decaf if I have to. At the moment my association of coffee=anxiety is stopping me from trying (even decaf!), however I plan to make that next months challenge. This months challenge is being able to take my multi-vitamins again (I've became wary of any medication, as it might make me feel 'different'), and perhaps re-introduce one or two of the foods I've been avoiding...
Like every being, I love beauty, so I try to surround myself with it... It's hard to explain exactly what i mean here - I'm not referring to physical beauty, but emotional, and calming natural beauty... Wildlife, water, beaches, nature, calming images, love, it's amazing the amount of beauty that there is which we all take for granted... or I have anyway.
A clean and calm house - or at the minimum one room or area of the house that is free from clutter and inspires a quiet mind and relaxation. This can be your mental refuge - your'safe zone' - somewhere you can sit and just be.
Actually seeing, not just looking, but seeing the things around me... Appreciating everything as it is, not how I perceive or wish it to be... It's amazing how long I've lived without actually seeing or appreciating anything!
Wind - natures greatest gift. I find the breeze so calming and cleansing. I may look like a twat, but it doesn't matter where I am, if a breeze blows through I will close my eyes and quietly smile to myself and allow it to empower me as it blows upon me, then let it take my negativity and ugliness with it.
We WILL get better, we will not just survive - we will LIVE!!
