Anxiety techniques

Hi there,
I am an anxiety sufferer since 10 years ago, I was on medication for a few years and was living great without it for years ...until now, my therapist is teaching me mindfulness and CBT...and I’m learning step by step but I get desperate at the time of the day when my anxiety peaks that I feel like crying because of the feelings of uneasiness and feeling like I will not be able to feel better again. Can anybody tell me when do you see improvement when practicing these techniques?

Hi

Mindfulness takes a while to master but is really worth the effort as imo it is the best thing you can do to reduce and manage anxiety so stick with it.

Hibee

I find that meditation helps me with mindfulness too. Focusing on relaxing or on a mantra instead of worrying about things.

Mindfulness lets you focus on the present instead of the future or dwelling on the past. And Hibee is correct. It takes practice, but doing it is practice so you are always improving.

Hang in there.

Hugs, Karen...
