ugh

I feel so much better depression-wise but I still feel on edge most days…just comes with anxiety I suppose. I still have a little trouble falling asleep sometimes. Sometimes I don't. I don't have to tell you guys how frustrating it can be, you all know :/
I find myself still tensing all my muscles here and there, most of the time I don't even notice it. I try so hard to relax sometimes too and I just can't.
So much work to do…still..

Hi KB

Great news re your depression.

Anxiety seems to linger I like to use Mindfulness on a daily basis and that helps me keep my anxiety in check. I have accepted that I am always going to have troubles with anxiety it's just the way I am programmed so rather than fight it I try and roll with it.

Hi Kel,

Good to hear from you...although I am sorry that you are facing a challenging time at the moment.

I too was going to suggest Progressive Muscle Relaxation, as J.M. did! It is a simple but effective exercise. It helps with immediate muscle relaxation...as well as long term benefits such as recognizing tenseness and retraining the body to stay relaxed.

Here is the link to Stress Relieving Exercises from our Resources. You will find the PMR instuctions in there...as well as other great coping skills.:)
