Winning this battle!

[Kosta]

I want to share my story with our great community, willing to help all those people who have anxiety problems that I had in the past. I know how stressful all this might be for you, because I felt the same problems on my skin, body and mind. I have had problems with anxiety a very long period, but luckily I am winning this battle.


I may say that a messy lifestyle was a main reason for appearing my anxiety problems. When I removed all bad habits from my life, the condition started to improve. I am feeling much better now, thanks to the disciplined lifestyle. Changing some habits might significantly improve one's health condition.


Always try to lead a healthy life, avoiding stressful situations and regularly take all necessary vitamins and minerals. They are very important, and if you have an insufficient quantity in your body that may be the main reason for anxiety problems.


Vitamin B is very important, and I would recommend anyone to use it regularly. It has a power to relax a body and mind for some time, and should be a part of the therapy.


Although, I am not a doctor and talking all this from my personal experience, I am totally sure that healthy life cannot harm you in any way, but surely can help you. Always take a care of yourself and love yourself much more than before.

Thank you for taking the time to share your success with us. It is great that you have found what works for you. I agree that a healthy lifestyle can really help. It definitely can't so any harm. It is so important to have confidence and to love yourself. That can be difficult for some to do. I am sure that your advice will help others on here who are struggling.

I'm happy for your success. I have to agree that when I'm more disciplined and avoid procrastinating on the things I need to get done, I feel better. But I don't have really have a medium so if I go all the way disciplined, I become wound to tight and that will stress me out too. So it's always an effort to find that balance between the two extremes. But I agree that more discipline is better than none or even lax lifestyle.

I'm glad this worked for you! I'd like to hear what kind of "bad habits" you removed from your life and how you did it. I'm sure it wasn't an easy process, but sometimes it's the small steps that lead to big victories.

I am grateful for your unselfish support, and I am hoping that we will help those members who have anxiety problems. Together we are stronger, and many people know much more than only one. I am also hoping that my advice will help someone, and that would be a great moral reward for me. Some time ago, I needed help, while now I am offering it. And I am happy because of that. Anxiety is a pretty weird problem, at least I have thought that about it from the beginning. And it is often caused by some things, which do not look as a main reason at first sight. Improving other aspects of life, feeling better and more fulfilling will automatically suppress disease.

Thank you for sharing and also for highlighting an important point - sometimes we get so wrapped up in focusing on the mental health side that we forget how important the health of your whole body can be as well. Your brain depends on having the right food available to function properly! While I would advise a diet higher in fruits and veggies to obtain vitamins and minerals rather than supplements, it is an issue that should be looked at as a possible contributing factor, especially with anxiety issues. Thank you for sharing!

Good job. Withdraw from bad habits is not an easy task, it requires discipline and be fully commited into change for the better.

Congratulations on your healing journey, @Kosta! It's so interesting to read through the success story posts and find how different things worked for different people!


Me, I've been tackling a "messy" lifestyle (not so bad I can't have people over, but always hanging over my head and never feeling like I can catch up.) I feel like my depression and sometimes anxiety is what keeps me from taking care of it. At the same time I have the habit of letting my depression keep me from doing it, so that's a bad habit...and maybe I'm just a little lazy (though my psychiatrist doesn't like me using that term! :wink:  lol!) I have tried lots of methods for doing housework, and they can help to make it more manageable or fun for me, but ultimately I still have to want to do it!

Glad to hear that you're working your way into success! Thanks for the awesome advice and (dare I say this is beginning to sound like paranoia to me) I hope you don't leave us simply because of the success that you're experiencing. If you do, though, we wish you all the best as well and hope that this success continues only to grow.


Blessings!

Good to hear that you got on top of things.


I, too, had a similar experience recently. I caught a virus and was hospitalized for a few days. The doctors did all kinds of tests on me and found that it was a deadly virus but I got treated in time. Then they found that I have also got hypertension and diabetes, which I never knew I had. Altogether it was a very traumatic experience. After staying in bed for too long, I developed a fungal skin disease on my back. Oh, dear! I was really down and out. However, my son was very supportive. He made sure that I went to see the doctor regularly and I took all my medications correctly. Now, I am almost back to 100%. I no longer feel like I am falling apart and headed to the grave. I can now wake up in the morning and look forward eagerly to a new day.


Like someone said, when you are at the bottom, the only way to go is up. Yaay!
