How to handle anxiety, stress and depression now that I was diagnosed?

I've gone down this trail before. For me the best remedy for stress anxiety & depression is exercise. Go for a long walk or run if you can. Work your exercise bike, whatever. Do something that gets you into the aerobic zone if you can. My old auntie used to say, "the remedy for depression is cleaning" - houseclean a room or two if you can! That will get your blood flowing and your mind off your problems, at least for a while!

Even selling in place inside the house helps. I know I need to move more. (Been very lazy, anxious, and borderline-depressed for a while. Hopefully summer weather here will help.)

I am so happy you keep say IF YOU CAN. What if you can't do any of those things because of the Illness you have. Not only my Illness but my wife's Illness as well, we are both very sick as hell at the same time. She can't look after me & I try hard to try and look after her the best I can, but been 80 yrs old with Live Cancer it very hard NOT to become depressed. So there you have it, you make it sound so easy because your not 80 yrs old and dyeing from Cancer . >(:0)
