Breathing exercises are widely accepted as good treatment for anxiety. Just breath through it until your body regulates itself.

Are you under a drs care? That's usually a good place to start.

For now, try to not get caught in the negative thought process. Make small, achievable goals and go after them. Make yourself eat. Maybe try going for a walk. We've all been there and are here for you.

Meditation helps you feel rested too. It rests the mind. I hope you feel better. Do talk to your doc like AV said...

Hugs, Karen....

Cilly,

try reading a magazine article, poems if you are inclined.

do a crossword, word search. soduko keep the mind busy.

Turn the radio on.

This sounds like depression and you spiraling down. I am glad you have a doctors appointment, keep it and let them know exactly how you feel

peace and strength

Cilly,

I understand.  I think we all do.  I'm just sorry you're having a bad time, too.  You've gotten good suggestions.  Please take them to heart, and as suggested, share with your doctor.

Find something to focus your thoughts in a positive way.  Sometimes it helps me to just "cry it all out" and clear those weepy feelings.  This, too shall pass.

Hugs~~Dixie

Cilly- how long have you been on the Lexapro now? Have you given it 4-6 weeks to kick in yet?

I'm sorry girl. You're depressed and anxious and my God do we all know that place. It stinks and feels very isolating.

Can you get out & walk for exercise & stress relief? It really helps to get out into nature. While walking you can pray, cry, listen to music- anything to get out of the negative loop that keeps playing in your mind.

Please know you can come here always and we will carry you when you can't walk!! You're a good woman and deserve good things. You will get there.

Sending love!

I did not know you fell? What happened? Did you go to doctor for it or just bruised and healing at home?

I'm so sorry! Will pray for physical healing for you too tonight. <3

Hugs,
Lisa

Cilly have you tried laying on the floor with a pillow under your knees? Sounds like the lower back is your injured area and may be inflamed. Might try an ice pack back there too.

Hope you feel better soon.

Peace and comfort
