Brain Training

[HeatherMc]

The Last Couple of days I have been using my little girls nintendo ds brain training puzzle game to distract myself from the panic, it also kills two birds with one stone I am getting good at the puzzles and my brain age is lower than my chronological age (so I have a good idea now its not dementia causing my symptoms!!!) and it is actually improving my concentration and stops me panicking the joy of these cute little boxes is you can take them anywhere. I took mine on the train to Liverpool last week and I noticed a few people with them, one girl went so far as to ask me what game I was playing on and told me she was now on the advanced levels.

word of warning they have become quite addicitive and I am determind to do a bit everyday now, wish I was the same with exercise

I'm a Brain Trainer, its a very good anxiety distraction.

Anything that distracts from the bad feelings, and also improves our minds, can only be good.

Hi hun,

This is great hun that you have found something that will distract you from how you are feeling. It is soooo true, that when anxiety levels start to rise, when acute, you can find it soo hard to take your mind away from how you feel, the importance we put on how we feel the MORE power Mrs anxiety gets, so finding something that will totaly distract you DOES work.

I am panic, high anxiety free because of this great site, but I feel at times I have nothing up there LOL this sounds great, I have seen them on the tv, BUT, I'm not sure what to get for exmas The Wii, OR, this, hehe, maybe someone will buy me both

Happy playing

LOVE JILLXXX

I've seen these and think they are a good idea but very expensive unfortunately.

Also I think I've seen before that they have a lot of number and/or suduko puzzles on them and I've just found out that I may have a condition (dyscalculia which is kind of the number form of dyslexia), so I have difficulty with anything to do with numbers.

Oh well since I can't afford it anyway I guess it doesn't matter. Sounds like good distraction though.

I love my DS !!! There 's a new logic puzzle game advertised on TV so hoping Santa might stick it in my stocking.

A great distraction and good escapism.

I love my DS, The scrabble & 42 games in 1 are very addictive.

on buses and such. Plus its cheaper lol.
