Hello to all. I have decided to join BB as am on that roller coaster that so many seem to be on. It's been a rough few months as I am battling a lot of old demons but I am trying really hard to stay on top, my main problem is anxiety , most likely followed by depression though I often feel I have that under control but some days I am so overwhelmed with it all .i am wanting to seek natural help as at the moment I dont want to do the drug side of things. I just stopped taking medication as felt it wasn't helping .i do a lot of reading up and searching for a more natural approach but then I get frustrated as everything is so expensive. A little about myself. I am 58. Married. 3 kids. 3 grandkids . Lead an extremely busy life. I have had rheumatoid arthritis for over 28 years, many operations over the years. Quite often in loads of pain. But normally keep quite healthy. I don't have a lot of money to spend but am not complaining as so many are worse of than I. I am good at budgeting etc. and if I find the right treatment I would,find a way to,fit in in. I am getting back into meditation and I love my relaxation music. I get so frustrated with myself as i let my anxiety take over when I try so,hard not to. I guess I am just asking what treatments other than drugs are out there to help a person keep anxiety/depression under control. I am not into phschologists etc as I don't like digging up my past which they always do. I prefer to move on and live in the present and make my life the best it can be but to do that I need to control this dreaded anxiety. Thanks for listening.
