Therapy did not help as I really had a chemical imbalance. You could have talked to me till you were blue in the face but I would have still been and continued to be sick. I needed meds. I use also light therapy for my seasonal affective disorder. I use meditation books, I go to al-anon which has really given me a lot of tools to deal with life! I pace myself and try to de-stress. Stress really affects me, and in my working days I had an extremely stressful job. Now retired, I can kinda go at my own pace...not always though.....I have learned to take a nap, or put my feet up for a while just to de-stress and relax. I am also able to shut the world out at times. Also very important I have learned to stay away from toxic people who are always seeing the glass half empty. Also my mental health has become my first priority for without my sanity there is nothing!!!
