What is the number one thing that has contributed to you healing or made life easier? What has given you the most relief.


Mine would be Meditation first and acceptance therapy second.

Wow...I would say #1 is my faith in God. #2 would be my faith in God. ;-)

which, of course is multi-faceted with Bible reading and meditation, prayer, good music, etc.

Mine is the meds. I just couldn't make it without them. I was a miserable person before and scared all the time and am now able to function to some degree.

Well, this is a tough one but I would have to say medication. I was also miserable before I had the meds. However, just starting to meditate comes in a strong second for me right now. It seems to heal me while I do it.

I'm learning to walk the same road as you right now Wanderer. I'm getting back in to meditation and working with my therapist on this acceptance therapy. I'm finding it harder than the CBT that I have been exposed to for the past 10+ years because there is no more fighting but I firmly believe that I will get better.

Fighting to control only makes the thoughts more powerful. I tried this route first and things got worse. CBT does not address trauma the way other older eastern therapies or the new tapping therapies and of course acceptance. You could say acceptance therapy is the formal opposite of CBT.

Stay in the moment of now anxiety and PTSD thrive in the past and the future. The now is where calm is.

I would have to say working. Even though I really dont like what I am doing, I push myself through it, and lately I have been feeling a little more confident. Now that my meds seem level, I am feeling a nice difference in my anxiety level.

    Over the last couple of weeks I have felt my stress and anxiety levels rising. I am not one for confortation so I just tend to bottle things up. My biggest thing is my home life. I rent my spare bedroom out to a 25 year old mother and her 10 yr old son. We recently changed around a little alcove that I had into a room for him.  Upon them moving in some of the questions I had asked were those...

He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...
