I was diagnose with severe Post Tramatic Stress maybe 4 or 5 years ago. I still take medication I was able to cut down on them. I did not want to take medication all my life, but decided is this is what I needed to feel normal again I excepted that as part of my life.

Have a good day

Anxiety is a nervous illness. Just as with anything else, it takes time to heal. Accept it, float with it, and let it ride it's course. I know it's tough, it really sucks, but you have to make positive arrangements in your life and not just count on meds.

Whether you are on meds or not, making adjustments to your attitude means a lot. Anxiety comes from worrying about past or future, irrational worry. When you learn to take on a better attitude, and learn to live in the moment, things will get better. Slwoly but surely, you'll start noticing change.

Do feel good things, exercise, spend time with family & friends. Don't isolate yourself, be KIND to yourself like you would a child.

The simple things in life are the keys to recovery. You have to find out what those are (in your life), and learn to enjoy them, apprecaite them, and realize the world doesn't revolve around "us".

It's all there waiting. I've found it in my life, you have to find it in yours. It's all rather simple, but to someone anxious, it seems like a huge task. Don't look at things as a "task". Appreciate the small things, and be thankful for them. Believe in yourself, be true to yourself, and learn to love yourself.
