I didn’t find meds to help me either. Side effects were always the biggest problem.

Making healthy lifestyle choices helps me the most. Exercise and eating well... getting plenty of sleep... yoga...

I am trying to meditate and have not had success with it. It’s like I’m completely resistant to it and it makes me agitated. I haven’t figured this out...

I definitely work hard to manage my stress and anxiety and it’s a bit isolating... as I posted in another thread recently... some people are resentful and judgmental about my lifestyle choices... You and I seem to be on the same topics lately.
