Hello members. On the last years I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety and depression and only recently I have a made a bold decision to get a proper treatment and take care of myself. This was not easy and I had to have a nervous breakdown as well as some setbacks to made this decision.
There were three things that have been helping me on my recover: medication, joining this program (paniccenter.net) and yoga class.
1. Medication: I had to consult two doctors. The first was not working and not giving importance to my symptoms prescribing meds that did not work on me. Fortunately I change doctors and have been adjusting meds with my current doctor to meet my needs.
2. Joining this program: I have to congratulate the team and health educators that have contributed to this site for putting a program that works. I reserve about 1 hour watch day to do CBT activities and posting on these forums.
3. Yoga classes: I attend 2 classes a week (tuesdays and thursdays) with yoga instructors. On mondays, wednesdays and fridays I practice yoga at home alone. While at home I try to create a relaxing environment to practice yoga. I tune-on the TV on myzen.tv with relaxing videos and music and I am following a book with simple yoga exercises that I have bought. To keep my motivation at home, every monday I modify the yoga program. I found yoga very useful for my anxiety because it is necessary to practice relaxation, breathing techniques and visualization.
One thing that I found interesting is that there is not a simple formula or way to get better. I have learn what have been working for me by trial and error.
It is all for now and I hope this give people some ideas for getting better.
