morning fellow bloggers
Newbies might find this interesting. It is nearly a month since I started blogging, I was consumed by fear, always anxious and lived in nerves of something bad happening. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for many years but sometimes can go months without even thinking about it. Then something triggers it and the nightmare starts again.
This site has been a godsend for me, I try to blog everyday, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad but I always try to be honest with myself. Not everything works for everybody, I chose not to take medication, I tried it didn't like it, but I know people it does work for. I'm a bit of an old hippy at heart so for me diet and nutrition is important, I try to eat well even when I don't feel like it, I take St John's Wort, Omega 369 and a well woman multi vitamin. It could be all in my head but they work for me.
Excerise is also a vital part for me, I used to run but actually find it stressful now, so I walk. I have also discovered meditation and I can't recommend 100 breaths enough. Basically that's all you do breath in and out slowly and count to 100. I can also recommend CBT but like most things you only get out what you put in.
I also have to thank a certain member of this site who gave me enlightment. He made realise I don't have to fight my anxiety but I have to accept to as part of me. I have found a new inner peace, I still get anxious but now I know it will pass, I will have good days and bad days. I don't beat myself up about the bad days, but I try and find the positive. The more positive thoughts I put in the better I feel, and sometimes I just do nothing and let the maddness wash out me.
So thank you to everyone who has read and commented on my posts, your kindness has helped me and I want to share the positivity like a big mexican wave that just keeps going
love and light x
