Thought I'd tag on to this. One of my worst symptoms is DP, which is quite high during the day. After a good workout (at least 30 min cycle and weights) I feel so much better. Also increases my appetite too.


It is an effort with the cycling as my mind tends to go manic for the first 10 mins (prob to do with more oxygen) but it feels good when i get off covered in sweat!!!

Weights is hard with anxiety as my muscles are so tense but I still manage it.

Definately recommend exercise as a step forward.

Mark.

You're absolutely right Mark

Love Piglet xx

Just thought I'd raise this again to badger you!!

I can't encourage you enough to build some sort of exercise into your recovery plan. It is a significant component of recovery I believe and often too easily ignored. Thoughts are critical but exercise is also way up there in my opinion.

Cheers,
Trev

Trev I am going through the same as you...Have you gotten back to "normal"? Can you exercise "normally"?
