I find this forum excellent for support and advice. I also like HeadSpace, it’s got loads of meditations etc for anxiety/depression and Calm. InsightTimer is good as well and social anxiety institute.org - it’s good, can’t remember who recommended it on this forum.

PS social anxiety institute should all be 1 word but iPad insists on making it 3 words!

Welcome to this supportive and encouraging forum. I too have had anxiety most of my life. It has become most burdensome now as I’m getting older. I make an effort to choose healthy options like exercise, nutritious foods, hydration, meditation, prayer and trying to keep negativity at bay.

We share our tools and know we are not alone. I wish you well and happy thoughts 💕

it is a beast for sure. Welcome to this group! I’m sure you’ll find awesome support in the community. I’m sorry you’re feeling depressed today but glad you were able to get to yoga and keep doing those activities that help. Welcome !

Hello. I'm sorry to hear that you had a tough day. One of the other posters said that she has learned to be grateful for the good days. This is also helpful for me. It also helps if I "schedule" my days of high anxiety. I do things that make me feel productive or that give me pleasure. I stick to the schedule and then the day passes. I hope this helps.

Don’t downplay the effects of the prednisone. It’s a steroid. And mood altering. Talk to your doctor about it.

Oh, and welcome to this site. Thanks for sharing.
