Thank you so much for taking the time out to chat with me, yes I’ve tried therapy before and I plan to try it again. Thank you for adding me to the other group, I find that it helps when I talk with others that going through this or experienced it before

Hi @hearttoheart1 & @shaleta30 Thought I’d drop in to say hello and see how you’re both doing. Knowing you’re not alone while trying to beat anxiety and depression can be a godsend.
Hearttoheart, I know you’re making great strides in your journey by walking your 5k daily, making blankets, busy with gardening... Shaleta30 is eager and willing to push all of this behind her too. It would be great if you share could some of your other successful tips with Shaleta30 to help her get on the road to recovery.
Wishing you both peace...Lori

You’ve been under the thumb of this anxiety for 10 years and it’s time you kick it out the door and down the street. Working with another therapist will be a good place to start. There are different types of therapy tools which can be really beneficial. Take your time to find what feels comfortable for you.
@hearttoheart has used Reflexology which she found really helpful.
My daughter used two techniques:
EMDR-eye movement desensitization & reprocessing.
MBRS-mindfulness based stress reduction.
Both amazing tools were practiced with her through a therapist which specialized in those techniques. And, for a while initially, she was on a Prozac. Because she’s very slight, she was started out on liquid Prozac as 10mg, which is the standard dose was way too strong for her. With the liquid she could at 2.5 ml and work up to 10 mg capsules. Her life has turned around!! We have our daughter back.
You are strong and ready take control! ☺️
Sending you vibes of peace today! Lori
