Greeting, this feeling of anxiety, understood well by I. The response that’s working to keep me safe can be oh so uncomfortable. Realizing that this response is not something I can program out of me, getting an understanding of the triggers and familiarity of sensations can build my relationship with anxiety to a more constructive arrangement. Reach out anytime and we can chat more on this! I am here for you.

Let me share my story. It might help. I have been dealing with depression for over 20 years. My last battle was about 3 months ago and it hit me pretty hard so I decided to see a psychologist for the first time in about 7 years. It helped me a lot. He discussed how anxiety and depression actually work and he also suggested for me to read 2 books. The 10 Best Ever Anxiety Management Techniques and Feeling Good. They discuss not only coping skills but talk about how bc go the brain works in regards to anxiety and depression. I really liked the books and I am still reading them. I am not a huge fitness guy but for the last 5 months or so I take a walk in my hilly neighborhood and I also jog a little bit to get my heart rate up. This helps me tremendously. I usually do it on my lunch break because I work close to home. I am also on an anti depressant which is 20 mg of Lexapro and when I go through my anxiety/depression episodes I will take Klonopin. There is hope and you will be ok. Trust me.
