It just got me thinking about how anxiety and panic attacks can really ruin someone's day, week, month, year, life! Last year at this time, I was suffering immense ongoing attacks. I believe hitting all the first holidays without my son was THE major factor in it. Honestly, it was debilitating. I felt like I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
For awhile, I was taking some daily anxiety meds to help. Eventually, I grew tired of feeling like a zombie. So I stopped. I started exercising more and it helped. Then I turned to Yoga which helped even more.
I have been doing yoga for about three months now. Until our vehicle situation (which is the source of some of my anxiety), I was being really good about going 4-5 times a week for yoga, plus another day or two for just exercise. Lately, I have been lucky if I can go once a week.
Then today came the anxiety attacks.
Tomorrow, thankfully, I can do yoga for sure. My husband is off work. Friday, I think if we do not have our vehicle back, I will take him to work so that I can make sure I can go again. I think it helps me. I'm certain it helps me.
I hate it when I feel like I have today. And to think, last year, I probably suffered like this for several months. I'm not going to reach that point again.
