Good Alma, that you are having some good days.

What other help are you getting to help yourself out of depression ?

You can overcome this.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?

Will I ever escape this?

stick with it Alma !

I have found the anti-d's have stabilised me and bought me the time to concentrate upon my recovery.

Ive used a multi-point approach to reducing my anxiety and depression: counselling, reading up , Meg's Anxiety CD's and a determination not to avoid any situation, regardless of how uncomfortable it may become. In doing this you will not re-inforce the anxiety. Make sure you find a way of experiencing deep relaxation which will help you feel a little stronger and better equipped with day to day activities.

Just remember that it is your thoughts that are causing you anxiety so work on any negative thoughts you may have. try distracting yourself when you think negatively.

Hope this helps....Good luck,

Peter
