I have had years and years of therapy. I don’t take any medications for my anxiety. Never have. Sometimes I know why I am nauseated. Sometimes I don’t have a clue.

If I sit quietly, sometimes I will remember what event from my childhood is similar to my current situation, I recall the event, my feelings and then I comfort myself with self-care.

I use most of the techniques in the SmartPatients.com conversation, Resources for anxiety.

Currently wall-sitting, Breath Work and binaural music are very good for my anxiety. I also eat the DASH diet and exercise daily.

I am so sorry your husband has cancer. I have cancer too.

I hope your anxiety lessens.

I started having really bad anxiety about 4 months ago. I’m not sure why. I’ve taken antidepressants for years and they’ve always taken care of it. Now in January I was hospitalized and even had ECT with no positive results. I wake up each morning and have a pit in my stomach most of the day. I guess I would be classified as treatment resistant since I’ve tried about 4-5 medications. Any suggestions?
