I would laugh, but I got food poisoning the last time I was in hospital, to add to the reason I was there, and the experience is still fresh in my memory.Eat some bad food shortly, I expect.
Hardcore food poisoning is very serious. It can whack you out big style.I would laugh, but I got food poisoning the last time I was in hospital, to add to the reason I was there, and the experience is still fresh in my memory.
I concur.I really like to do meditation, the feeling of total relaxation is amazing. For anyone suffering stress or anxiety I would totally recommend it.
This Woman's YouTube channel has some great vids for mental relaxation play around and see if any suit you.
I think it's like anything in that practice makes you better at it. There was a time I used to listen too a relaxation tape 3 times a day, 30 mins each time. I found it almost addictive in the feeling it gave me once I'd become good at it.I concur.
If you think you're doing it wrong you aren't.
The mind races with thoughts. I like the term monkey mind because that happens to me when I feel overwhelmed. A constant stream of brain noise.
Meditation does still the mind. It feels weird, well it did to me the first real moment of presence. It was a flash, like a funnel had opened and drained all the thoughts.
Very rarely that occurs. Maybe that's because I'm scared? It's a new, uncomfortable feeling.
I call my brain a computer that is in desperate need of a de frag.
Meditation does that.
I have been there in the past. It is fairly common for antidepressants and/or anti-anxiety medication to become less effective overtime. There are a few theorised mechanisms for this but the most prominent one is that your brain develops tolerance for the drug and builds workarounds for the specific targeting method (especially with SSRIs and SNRIs). Long term treatment almost always requires cycling treatments to maintain efficacy.I've been on the same medication for over seven years.
I don't think it's working anymore.
I've hit an extremely dark place and may need to go to hospital to see what they think
A.few.years ago I actually asked about electroconvulsive therapy (which now isn't what it was like in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) that's obviously a last resort.
Because of my autism and not working I have the day to myself and it's not easy. The best cure is physical work or strenuous exercise which being middle aged, I struggle with.
I am sorry to hear you are having more difficulty, Karen. Fibro is a bastard of a disease—my aunt in Zaragoza has it and it has recently stopped her from taking the daily walks she has done for most of her life, as well.Finding it hard to come to terms with my fibro entering a new even more painful stage . The pain clinic third appt today is still offering advice in the hope of helping , i am following it but it is not really helping . I havent been able to walk as i was for six months now , not doing that in the fresh air is making me even more depressed and then the pain feels worse , caught between a rock and a hard place , life sucks, bastards
