I did one yoga video but had to quit ten minutes in because it was all seated (tension reduction) and my back hurt like hell! I’m gonna try one with movement tomorrow. Tbh though it definitely helped clear my mind! I gave meditation one shot but as always it made me even more anxious. I wish therapists would stop pushing it as the end all be all cure for mental illness! I honestly don’t think I will ever do an IOP program again. There’s only three around here and I’ve been to all of them. The one I’ve been to at least ten times. I think I’ve learned all I can! The other always forces me into DBT, thanks I already did that THREE TIMES I know it and it does not help in an acute crisis for me! The other I like but it’s small so it’s a combination of dual diagnosis and mental health, no offense to any addicts here but I don’t like doing group with them because of my late husband. So I think I will just increase my therapist visits when I have a crisis instead. She understands me and my needs!
