eeg heg biofeedback -neurofeedback training

Hey Chris,

My therapist does Biofeedback and CBT together sort of deal. So I have done the boifeedback with the machines and the computer reading and the electrodes and all of that. To me it was really helpful. It helped me learn to relax through thought control and breathing. It helped me see my physiological responses change as I challenge my thoghts and breathe properly or use techniques to get rid of bodily tensions. So yeah, to me it was helpful. As for straight biofeeback not sure how that goes. Just thought I would say this. My experience was good.

Anxiety, good or bad? Part 1 - Our traits

So we are up to worry, analysis, determination and creativity.

I would say, paradoxically we are brave or courageous. Courage is not about the absence of fear. It is about facing fear, it is about being afraid and doint it anyway. I think us anxious people are brave. That is how we get better. We are so afraid and yet we push and we try and we succeed! So I would add courage to the list.

derealization or depersonalization?

Well I think jhori said it best. don't need to explain further! I just want to say I had those symptoms before when in high stress. Have had a touch of it sometimes in the last year but barely. And honestly it didn't scare me this time around, I knew what it was. It was more anoying than anything else lol. For me it went away once I dealt with my thoughts and behaviors and brought my anxiety down. Simple as that. As I got to feeling better it slowly just went away. Hang in there it does get better!

Hey joe,

I wanted to come on here and say thank you again. Your post helped me so much, in ways I could not have predicted. I think your instincts are very good as you really seem to have understood what I was going through without me saying it too clearly. So cheers and thanks for the help!

See, yesterday when my doctor said I might be on meds for life I felt defeated. Completely defeated. I also felt as if she had negated all the progress and all the work I had done. I felt as if she had doomed me, sentence me to a life of depression and anxiety and misery! I was panicked. I was freaking out all day yesterday without being able to voice or explain this properly. But your post helped me. You pointed out that my outcome is in myhands and noone elses. You pointed out I have come a long way and I can do this. That whatever I choose (meds or no meds) I can do this and the power over my destiny is in myhands. I sooo needed that. I felt as if I was little and lost and powerless and your words helped me out of that. See what she said played into some very old thought patterns that were not fully gone and I fell for it. And I don't think she had bad intentions, She really is great and tries to help. But I have and aversion to being told I need meds forver it seems lol! So once again thank you so very much Joe!

Today I feel bad for reasons other then my appointments. Well not altogether true lol. My body feels bad, my mind is sorting out what hit it yesterday and feeling much better and calmer.

. At least now I can verbalize what hit me and challenge it and I feel much better.

Thanks for the support!

Hey guys!

Been a while! Thought I would drop in and say hi. I needed some time to think and "get away" from things and get some perspective. This burn-out I have been going through this year is sapping my energy but it is also forcing me to figure some things out which is good. I am slowly and surely working through things and figuring things out for myself.

I have been working part-time and will be working a bit more starting next week (Still part-time though). Am on medical leave from school because of my depression or whatever you wanna call it. I got through Christmas rather well.

I have been doing rather well considering everything. I have come to make some important decisions, I figured out some stuff. I work. I take the bus to work! I am more anxious because of the depression and so am still taking anxiety meds but am taking it only PRN and am doing really well in the Panic Attack department so yay!

I really feel like things will get better and are slowly getting better for me. Hubby and I are still working things out and still in therapy which is a shocker for me! He usually doesn't last this long! He got a nice new job and that makes him happy. He passed his university class last semester and he is taking another one this semester.

So yeah, that is what is up with me. Sorry for not replying to all the other posts but it might take me a while to catch up. Been gone for a good while now.

So please help me and let me know, here, how you are doing and what is up with you all! I have missed you and can't wait to catch up! As for you all I haven't met yet, I hope to get to know you soon!
