@davi0284 well sounds like you have the situation well in hand, a companion that is faithful and true to you. That in itself is a miracle in the best way. Able to walk that many miles is a stress reliever and the dog is one too. your hobby helps others and you have a church group that seems to cover you there. I have a lot of stress in my life and had a major anxiety problem that was subconscious and found out last minuet like in my awareness of my little spot in life. medications and a counselors have turned the tide for me. on to many meds to say exactly what works and what does not. I am still under my caregivers watchful eyes. sounds like you are well ahead of me for now, but i am trying to change how i live and maintain my days. hope you find what you are searching for and have a blessed day today. Sending a prayer that you find what you need----sent.

@randallshields56 thank you Randall. Everything turned out good thank you very much. I hope you have a blessed day if I can only get this neuropathy under control having a hard hard time with my right foot I tried everything out here on the market. Nothing works. I’ve done the B12. I’ve done all the lotions. I’ve done the vibrating machines. If anybody’s got a solution please let me know. Thank you and may God bless us all.

I use a version of square breathing I call smooth circular aware breathing. Here's how it works. You start slowly breathing in, slowly increase the rate, then slowly slow the rate until you're holding your breath, then immediately but slowly start exhaling, slowly increase the rate then slowly slow the rate until you're holding your breath at the extreme exhale point. Repeat above - aware all along of what you're doing.

This is like square breathing but with the corners rounded out! I think the key is that by being aware of your breathing as you control it - you're getting your mind off your anxieties, if only for a few minutes. Square breathing accomplishes this, and so does the above! Try it!
