I don't know what all you've tried on your path to healing, but I wonder if you've tried just accepting certain things instead of struggling against them. I mean, for example, the smoking and the exercise thing. Can you just accept that you smoke and don't exercise without judging yourself or telling yourself you should do this or that?
You've achieve stability. Now you just need some inner peace IMO.

Thanks Costello, that is kind of you. i find the acceptance so hard. i find this World so difficult. i've had a fear & anxiety, ever since a kid, that i feel very physically in my chest - it's always there, sometimes it's not as bad as other times - i don't know how to resolve it?
All the healers haven't really worked, despite some progress.
For all my criticism of society, the mental health system & psychiatry, the medication does work to a degree, & the diagnosis does seem to fit. i'm maybe looking for things for which there is no answer or resolution.
i'm in the UK, & the conservatives have been voted in for another 5 years. They are going to make another 12 billion in cuts to the welfare system. It worries me. i'm dependent on benefits. It's been very hard as it is within the current climate. The social attitudes to mental health in the UK are terrible.
i'm a worrier anyway. Not really anything that i can do about everything, other than carry on as best i can.
