Hi all,
The thread title is pretty self- explanatory. I have suffered with anxiety for four years and I'm not sure what else I can do to help it. I try to eat fairly healthily, go to the gym 2- 3 times a week, do pilates and have even just come back from a run. I am trying to go to bed early as I tend to wake early. I have cut coffee out of my diet, take a vitamin B capsule and tried mindfulness (it didn't really work). I also take Kalms and drink camomile tea. I try to socialise and apply for jobs. I have been to numerous doctors about the problem and even did a course of CBT a few months ago. I left my incredibly stressful job and am now living with my parents which doesn't help. I still worry about everything ALL the time and get overwhelmed. I felt panicky about going to do my volunteering today (despite doing a CBT session about avoidance this morning) so rang and cancelled which of course made me feel bad.
I feel a constant sense of dread and worry and am often on edge. If I have better days, then I worry about the anxiety coming back. I really want to have a life- get a career, pass my driving test, go travelling. Is there anything else I can try or any advice someone can give me?
