I have cut down internet time, I haven't googled in two weeks, and my anxiety has been way down. I sit outside in the sun a bit, I meditate, I write, I draw, I read, I took up cross stitching, I work on crossword puzzles, I blog, and I use a weighted blanket when the anxiety hits, really works, I also keep a journal, I list the good days and the bad days, I also work out with DDP Yoga, really helps as well. You can get through this, it may seem bad now, but the good days are coming.
