I have extreme OCD and general and social anxiety disorders. There are a great many things I can't do on my own (leave the house, go into a store.) I thought as I looked up ways on the internet to help me I could share it on this blog.
I recently lost my job to this disorder, and depending on others right now to help me.
Please comment if you have any ideas!

Stress and the body

I really like this chart below, since it tells what anxiety and stress does to our bodies. It only shows the symptoms though, and not the answers. I am going to try on my breathing, and will hopefully have some input next time I write.

exercise

I found many articles referring to exercise as a way to help with anxiety. I also recently dusted off the old exercise bike, and started riding everyday. So far no difference.
I'm going to keep at it, and hopefully it will start to change.


 I found a good article in the New York Times explaining why this helps.

If exercise has helped you, please let me know.
