Thanks for your post...as it made me think of something interesting. I still recall the day I went to the doctor and he Dx'ed me with anxiety/panic and depression. That evening, I think I did one of the best things ever...and I treated and pampered myself. After picking up my meds, taking my lorazepam, I crawled into my p.j.'s and into bed early that evening. I took 4 sick days off work, because I knew I needed to immediately reduce *any* stress (and doctors orders too).
So, it was the combo of everything...meds, treating myself well, rest and relaxation..the combination of these things seems to make life that much easier. As a friend of mine said to me...try hardest to reduce that "invisible load"...all of that emotion and such that hits us hard and weighs heavy when we don't feel well.
Anyhow...just my two bits..:-)
Peace and best,
Jay
