Anxiety

supporting people already

Thank you 

There’s one thing you definitely are not that’s alone! 

That's great, all very positive things to do. 

I'm feeling a bit lost at the moment. My diagnosis answered a lot of questions but now I'm feeling alone and unsure what to do. That's why I came here to better understand it all. 

yes it works but takes usually 30 sessions before u notice anything. around 20% of people do not respond to hypnotherapy.

Yes I’m back in the gym and Pilates and getting into a daily dog walking routine again. 
Being overweight makes me hide away. 
Thank you for replying, how have you found being diagnosed? 

I'm newly diagnosed and right now not sure which way I'm heading or where I'm going. 

I to do meditation and yoga, I find they help quite a lot. It's handy having these little things that help. 

I also listen to music and this helps as well. 

Also have you tried walking and doing exercise? I do this as well and it really helps ease the anxiety. 

Very! I started crying and could not stop. She said it meant they are watching over and protecting me! 

Thank you, I guess it’s just accepting new normal once it’s all gone through. 

saw passed family members, thats interesting and a sign it does something at least.

I don’t know if it works for everyone for me it’s like a form of meditation and relaxes me. I have however seen family members who have passed whilst hypnotised. I’m usually quite sceptical of things, so it was a huge thing for me. I had a 6 week course and can self hypnotise now. 

does hypnotherapy work or do anything? do you feel any different after it? does it change your mind in some way? 
always wondered on whether it works or whether its like a movie gimmick lol

I think i have read that book you mentioned about facing your fears and it was quite good.

I too regularly use meditation which has definitely reduced my anxiety and depression.

it took me 6 months to re-stabilise after my diagnosis.

Oddly i taught myself self-hypnosis which i used to stop my nail-biting ( self harm ) years ago when i was a teenager. I have replaced it with meditation,  they are very similar.

I do know what you mean to a lesser extent.  I like to have a plan for weekends and holidays or I just feel lost like you said

I’ve started one this week. I’m still working a bit, make plans with people and then life happens and things change, so building some routines around the dog/ house chores. 

I never thought of it that way before, could you have a holiday routine?

I’ve lived my life by it, yes posted a few times in last few weeks. Thanks for replying. 
I hate slowing down, I’m a teacher and hate the holidays I’m lost and get low without my routine! 

Welcome to the forum, i'm assuming you are new here.  You sound like you have achieved a lot and maybe need to slow down a bit to recharge.  I read that book but haven't put it into practice
