I have trouble meditating... I'm still not sure if I'm doing it right. When I start to do yoga, all my thoughts start to run wild at first and then I say 'stop' to it and I close my eyes and focus on the back of my eyelids... and I imagine my breath going in and out. But this doesn't last long. Am I on the right track?
From my experience, I felt relieved when I was able to vent here and there were people like me who knew what I was talking about. I'm very self conscious too and don't want to write anything 'stupid' or 'wrong'... so those reasons have stopped me before. But once I tried expressing myself, I was more satisfied by the connection I can get with people who I can relate with. And it adds to my confidence too and it's very satisfying, so I encourage it for the benefit of yourself. It's like a release of all those thoughts I've kept to myself to clear the path all the confusion.
I'm sorry you are going through this. It's going to be 1 1/2 years since my separation and 8 months since my divorce. There are many days or times of the day that I remember things and become depressed or enraged still, but I've accepted that this is how it is going to be for me after a heartbreak. I'm there too.
When my anxiety and panic were at it's worst, I'd have them the whole day too. I have withdrawn from SSRI (anti depressants) during those times, but I've had long anxiety days after a year of the withdrawal too. But lately, they have really subsided.
Also, it's not weird that you get uptight doing the programs... I did too before, but that has subsided too, or I got used to it after a looong time.
I may have written a similar post before, but lately, I'm really considering on finding a therapist. My first therapist, I met for only one day when I was prescribed on Lexapro (SSRI) and I never went back, because I thought I didn't need to. The second one I had another therapist after I got off and that lasted about 3 months. He was really nice but I felt like I was pulling teeth all the time, when I was there... trying to find things to say. He never really said much except "You're depressed" and "You worry". So I was wondering how everyone else's experiences were with their therapists and some tactics on finding the right one. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks a lot.
