 Quote From: gail24124 Hi heather,my name is gail,I am 40,I have been suffering depression for most of my life,when I read your story ,it was like me,I have two daughters,great hubby,I am also on lexapro,Now I started taking cymbalta,with it I have to take lunesta ,and rozeram to sleep,because of insomia.I am also a Christian.Sometimes I feel like A failure because of this disease.The Panic attacks are horrible.I also love joyce meyer I have been reading battle feild of the mind(great book)I hope we can become friends on here and help each other throughGod Bless You ,I will be praying for you and your family. Shallow breathing can lead to anxiety, panic and depression so I'm posting Dr. Phil's relaxation script beneath my acrostic poem for you. I hope you like the poem. Doctor approved exercise can improve breathing such as walking...even just to corner and back. Oh, too much caffeine can precipitate panic too. Helps me to have a mantra like, "I'm calm, relaxed, poised and confident." Also, if you feel panic coming on likely your breathing is off so breathe calmly to regain balance. Hugs and prayers and glad you joines us. SEA
SELF MATTERS INCLUDES GAIL God Bless Gail and God Bless Gail A Lot G ail likes to spend time alone just to think A lso enjoys Joyce Meyer like fellow member Heather 79 I s a proactive person who reads books like "Battlefield of the Mind" L ed here on a wing and a prayer and we're glad she's here Relaxation Script by Dr. Phil Appendix A, page 285 - 286 WLC book BREATHE to count of FIVE each way ...in and out... (7 FOR FOOTBALL STARS) "Focus on your breathing: (UWS, PAGE 286) "Breathing out EXACTLY to count of 1-2-3-4-5. So focus on letting go of everything you want to let go, especially stress, fear and any other destabalizing emotions. For a few moments, practice letting go of any tension, stress, feelings, or thoughts that you don't need right now. Let them go. Then breathe in EXACTLY to the count of 1-2-3-4-5... Next, I want you to know that when you let these things go with your out-breath, you are replacing that space with good, nurturing air with your in-breath. Visualize that good air coming into your body and healing whatever needs restoration. Send that air to anywhere in your body and feel the love and caring you are giving yourself right now. Bring it into yourself. Practice this for a little while. What you need to do next is to balance these in-breaths with the out-breaths, so that you will feel soothing relaxation and balance coming into your body. Practice breathing in to a count of five, 1-2-3-4-5, now breathe out, 1-2-3-4-5, in-breath, 1-2-3-4-5, and out-breath 1-2-3-4-5. count for yourself for each in-breath and out-breath for at least five minutes. |
