Therapy didn't work for me. I tried many different therapists, several psychiatrists and quite a few different meds. And I made zero progress. What finally enabled me to emerge from the darkness was meditation, as strange as that sounds. Yoga is also very helpful to quiet the mind because it forces you to focus on the present moment. To manage my emotions and to overcome the debilitating anxiety that's been preventing me from doing what I want/need to do since I was a kid, I found another very weird technique called EFT or tapping. To keep me on track with regards to pursuing my goals, I find self-hypnosis to be very helpful as long as I do it consistently.

All of this I learned and practice for free by the way. I'd be happy to provide the resources that will get you started if you're interested.

I apologize if this is too far from the scope of your question and I hope someone else can post a more insightful reply

So glad I came across this post and saw your response. I have found that meditation, yoga and positive affirmations every morning as soon as i wake up and every night before going to bed have truly helped me as well. Whenever I feel my insecurities, and possessiveness take over me, I get super anxious and I Feel this horrible gut wrenching feeling, I take several deep breaths and slowly exhale through the mouth, I do this for 5 minutes and I repeat to myself "I trust more, I fear Less" or "I am at peace".... over and over and over.... It truly helps. Remember that what consumes your thoughts controls your life.

xoxo
