Re: My CBT experience
Hi debbsi,
I had CBT, I felt really well afterwards, the best way I could recover was to keep testing myself to keep fresh with the techniques and build my confidence. I suffered from SAD and GAD and was in a bad place. That was 3 years ago, I am no longer on my medication and I still find some days a battle, My biggest battle is confidence, I am really over critical with myself and I can be very sensitive so I find it hard to keep that constant feeling of being in a good place.
I have found that exercising, a good diet with plenty of fish plus fish supplements have helped, but when I slip from doing any of these 3 things I start to worry I will become anxious again and that feeds the anx on (a bit of OCD I think). I'm going to maintain the 3 things, the exercise does help with switching off as a form of mindful meditation, the diet and supplement do seem to work but I am always conscious that they are merely a placebo.
I wish you well, just thought I'd give a little insight into what can help.
