Books on Buddhism helped me beyond my imagination. At first it just seemed like stuff that any other self book or religious book but they give you some exercises to help you out. Really what helped was just breathing. I recommend it to anyone.

In my younger years I was able to move it aside and forget about it.

I've been helped a lot by reading books, spirituality, journaling, etc.

I just hide myself in my artwork so I don't have to deal with people too much.

I joined a treatment plan you did yourself with books and tapes. It was somewhat helpful. It helped me understand anxiety and depression better. It helped me understand that I'm not crazy, I'm not alone in this.

I have been sober now for 2 years now and my sobrity date is July 14th 2006. I did it without rehab and now the resentments are gone. Im currently searching a serious relationship.

Im currently readin books on the topic.

i took a positive psychology class, and applied what i learned. it definitely takes time and discipline, but once the exercises become habitual, it's like second nature.

I've learned a lot about myself from reading.

What I mean is, if you deside not to stay with your spuse & you figure he's no good, don't go from a bad situation to a worse one. Give yourself time to learn about you. So when you find Mr. Right you'll be in a better state to love with your heart & your mind. Think about what you as one of GODs beautiful creations deserves. And don't sell yourself short.Two ways. Either he's to much for u and u feel like u have to reinvent urself for him, or we look at our own flaws and settle for a low-life.

i do what i can to socialize. i have become much more open.

Sometimes I just force myself to talk in public. It helps!

Self hypnosis and re-educating myself about some negative ideas, does help.

Just fight it!

doesn't really work cause I just try to think of ways to work around it.
