Hello JustAdam, 

Thank you for sharing this with us. Sounds like you have found a great match for your therapist. You sound very optimistic and happy with the direction this is going in. Continue to practice what you have learned and keep us posted.

Hello all

I started seeing a psychologist this week who specializes in CBT and anxiety disorders.  I really like her and she has given me hope that there is an end to this tunnel!  She started with teaching me how to do breathing exercises properly and stressing that I need to practice them everyday for two 20minutes sessions when possible.   She said it is quite likely that I have been suffering from anxiety for so long that my body does not know how to relax.  

I have done breathing exercises prior to seeking a therapist but I use to only do them when I felt anxious.  I have been following her advice and doing them everyday whether I am feeling relaxed or anxious and already am noticing a reduction in my overall stress levels.

Just thought I would share.  For the first time in a long time I feel as if I am going in the right direction

Thanks for listening :-)
