Have you looked into yoga? I'm considering taking it up because it's supposed to help with anxiety.
Things I have tried and have worked for me are breathing exercises and medication. But meds is kinda that last resort thing, you don't want to have to rely on them. Especially anxiety meds, they can be super addictive.
Breathing exercises manage to calm me in situations where anxiety is high or I'm on the verge of panic attack. They basically involve lying down, closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing. Put your hands on your stomach with your middle fingers just touching. When you breathe in, your fingers should part. Just breathe deeply and slowly. It's all about thinking about breathing with your stomach, not your chest.

this is makes me sad because it always used to seem like something you enjoyed a lot

 

let me know if you ever want to get back into the swing of it. We could maybe collab if you think it'd help you ease back in?

[Pups_of_war_76]

it's more of a pain to join than ff.net (you need to send them your email, then wait a day or so for an invite) but the interface is way smoother (which is why I'm using it) and the adminstrative direction is not nearly as flaky.

i do power yoga but that probably defeats the purpose.  my psychiatrist asked the same yoga question, explained to her what power yoga is, and she was like, "yeah, i doubt that calms you down."  thx ****** but i like it so shove off

 

yoga looks like a lot of fun though and i'd love to learn more of the complicated poses, but i don't have much faith in myself.  

 

i am at a point in my life where i do have to use last resort things.  unfortunately, i've been way too close to suicide on a number of occasions and anxiety medications have helped with that.  i also like to use nature as therapy; being outside helps a lot.  grass and trees and flowers and rocks make me feel comfortable.  i go hiking a lot and feel so happy and at peace when i do.

 

i think add keeps me away from meditation and breathing exercises.  i have no motivation to even try it anymore, bc the times i did try it i got frustrated and bored and couldn't focus for ****.

 

thank you hana!  i'm glad to know someone else understands and is going through similar stuff and i like your approach to managing it all and really appreciate you and the fact that you shared this with me in such an open space.

breathing exercises frustrated me  a LOT at first but it gets easier with training actually. but i still can't lie around doing nothing for even three minutes? it's really hard not to think of all the poop

the only thing really calming me down is jogging or something closer to power yoga maybe cause it feels super good like punching yourself in the face 

but on the other hand last time i had long streak of depressed moods i really overdid it and pulled a neck muscle or something so now i'm typing it in a weird bird pose cause i can't look straight at the monitor

[Masha Potato]

with breathing it's about overcoming the, um, breathing block of something

it was really hard for me to do long inhales for example cause even though i never noticed it but my breath was always really surface-y and convulsive if that makes any sense. but after some time you should see the difference

i'm using this app http://www.justthebe...th/all-in-yoga/, mostly for breathing right now cause other stuff is a bit too intense for me, but the timer in breathing exercises helps a lott

[Radahldo]

meditation is cool

[Masha Potato]

wait i thought it was a different thread

oh well

[Radahldo]

its all good

[Radahldo]

i do yoga and meditate. I am relaxed but still very depressed. It feels nice at the time, but it dissipates as the usual routine of things and events reasser theirselves..

 

I would still recommend meditation

 

http://www.wildmind....ting-meditation

 

looking into different kinds helps too. Theres more than one way to do that, and its an inherently subjective experience, but a lot of people go into it with rigorous monastic meditation as the standard, when that does not need to be the case

 

meditation eyes closed, or open..  lying down, sitting ina  chair.. inside, outside..

as long as you are attuned to the continuum of your consciousness and existence, its all good..

[iqueefkief]

i think i have trouble with meditation the most because i feel like i'm supposed to be doing something all the time and get really anxious about it and feel like **** when i'm not

 

which is why i think if i established an early morning workout routine, a lot of anxiety problems could dissipate
