What has helped you the most?

I just posted this in the panic attacks section, but since I also suffer from depression, I thought it was relevant here too and I would love to share ideas.

Here is what has helped me:

Byron Katie's "The Work" -  WONDERFUL!!!!!

Distraction and Exercise.

Reading Patrick Holford's "Optimum Nutrition for the Mind"

- I am amazed by how much fish oils have helped me calm down.

The Option Institute.

Reading Eckhart Tolle.

Reiki and complimentary therapies.

The Panicaway Website.

Sending you all love and light!!!

I would have to say therapy, taking abilify and living in the moment. I have fibromyalgia. Since I have had it, I haven't been capable of worrying so much about the future. So out of a bad thing came something good. Living in the moment. Also The New Mood Therapy by Dr. David Burns MD.

I hope that this helps some/

Hugs, Karen
