Doing those things gets my energy on a positive track.
What I eat really affects me too. I find carbs and sweets give me an instant boost and a couple hours later I want to sleep or I feel tired or blah.
Mindfulness is making great gains in credibility as a tool to help. Healthy Minds is a free app by the University of Wisconsin that takes 5-10 minutes a day and I feel better after I do that. One more routine that sets me in the right direction.
So if you want to start now you could start any of those life style changes and that may even help reduce your anxiety. Then it is not all on therapy. You have a way that you can work back to feeling better.

Hey @CANDC these are the two apps in the iPhone App Store and neither mentioned Wisconsin. Are one of these what you are talking about?
