This morning I tossed and turned. Worrying about things out of my control. My anxiety got the best of me and even though I tried to do my breathing excersizes they didnt work. Instead of doing my regular 10 minutes of meditation I did about 25 just trying to clear my mind for the work day. My heart and mind feel heavy. Im doing my best to not give in and do things I shouldnt. I need some positive stories to get me through the day. 


It comes closer and closer to the day Im going to be living in my house alone. Ive never lived alone and im worried about how I am going to handle things. My anxiety keeps rising as im dreading sunday.. 


I need to focus. I spent a lot of time researching meditation last night so that I can create some good out of my roommates old room. Im going to turn it into a zen room. Im going to buy meditation pillows, and get a bunch of incense, oil diffusers, and crystals. Just to have an escape room. Does anyone have anything similar? 


I also looked into indoor gardening for herbs and some of my favourite flowers and Im hoping that makes my house feel more like a home. 


Feel free to add me as a friend on here and send me messages, everything is appreciated..

I am not sure if this will help at all. I read an article about stress management and it helped me a bit. Sometimes it's just about knowing and understanding. http://yourlevel.biz/alternative-stress-management/

It's worth a quick read.

Whats your diet, do you drink caffeine product?. Have you talk with family or friends? I recommend listening to religion chants. We all have problems..

rcurtis1010 ...listen I actually working on a online product that basically will help people deal with stress, anxiety and even depression. It is really good but it now finished yet.

What you basically need to do is start exercising in the morning. Nothing complicated and only for about 15-20min. I suggest to buy Pio program from Beachbody and do it in the morning or something similar.

The workout is needed for your brain to create enough Neurotransmitters (to focus your brain) and Endorphins (to relax your brain) so that you can function during the day. Diet it important too...but just one step at a time.

However, if you just walk 15min outside that will be a really good beginning before getting an actual workout program. But do it 7 days a week. Also, keep meditation going.

Good luck.
