But, the first step was stopping the symptoms I was having (shaking hands, rapid heartbeat, tight feeling stomach, feeling like I am going to be sick to my stomach) and that was done by Lexapro and Xanex. Once the symptoms overall abated and I was falling asleep and staying asleep, then I had to find ways to be able to control it myself - and that is where counseling, walking, yoga and guided imagery fit in.<BR/><BR/>In general, I needed to stop putting myself LAST - that is what I have been doing since Chris was born, and way more so since TTC #2, and even more so since my miscarriages. I lost me - and once I found ways to relax (and I mean, all muscles feel loose and calm and I am not thinking about work, cleaning at home, blah, blah, blah relaxed!), the new mindset emerged.<BR/><BR/>I hope that makes sense to you. If you can find the time to do it - do it. I have lost more than a year out of my life, and although I feel <I>sad</I> about it, I no longer feel <I>guilty</I> about it. It is a HUGE difference.Tina / Anxious Changerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05455878557333244801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24670020.post-18405705886536193912007-03-01T13:56:00.000-05:002007-03-01T13:56:00.000-05:00That's wonderful - do you really ascribe the new o...That's wonderful - do you really ascribe the new outlook to the yoga and meditation? I've promised myself I would try that for years now, but haven't made it a priority - and by so doing, guaranteed that it wouldn't happen. I think I need to make them a priority now. I could definitely use some lightening up.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your new-found lightness!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290007044439581358noreply@blogger.com
