Notes -
Perhaps not a small question, but I'm curious if folks here have dealt with depression/anxiety and if so, how have they turned it around or alleviated symptoms?
Looking mostly for success stories.
Stopped drinking coffee and alcohol for a year (also did two periods of 6 months).
Exercised heavily.
Meditated (poorly - but I tried).
I’m still anxious here and there but just normal life stuff I think. Never been depressed however.
Long term I believe gut health and mind health is very important too - ie having a good diet.
If you don’t know what living without anxiety feels like, or you don’t remember, take a Xanax or Valium several times a month. All of a sudden seeing what your goal is, and what life can be like, is clarifying.
