Hi Cath,
So sorry to hear about your fight for peace(at least that is what mine always feels like).
I am on antidepre. and it does help,altho. I have had to try several to find the right one for me.
I too have bad childhood issues and they seem to be the root of a lot of my problems,physical and emotional.I realize that for years I have tensed myself in defense to go out and make it thr. a day at work or even just in the world,like when shopping etc.
Some anti anxiety meds can help.I take one and have for a long time. I drink tons of mint tea and make sure I get enough rest,plus vitamins.
I want to include that for a long time when I was delaing w/the anxiety about work it often was just so hard to get out the door in the morning.Sometimes I had to call my therapist to calm myself down before I left.Even if I got her answering machinge it helped to hear her voice.
I hope you begin to feel relief soon.Can you get a Yoga CD to do at home until you move? I have one that is good and it helped when I needed it. Now I am getting ready to start going to a gentle yoga class.It is set up by our local hospital and geared to folks recovering from illness or surgery.
I too wil pray for you.I often found that I needed to pray myself thr. situations that made me anxious. This will get better.You are on the right path. Suzy
