I is for intense exercise (just a quick burst, but intense enough that I wear myself out in under 10 minutes). First P is for progressive relaxation which I absolutely suck at and probably should practice after this post. Last P is for paced breathing. My favorite is 4-7-8 breathing (in as deeply as possible for 4seconds, hold for 7, breath out fast for 8).

Were you diagnosed correctly from the get go?
No. I was initially diagnosed with major depressive disorder and anxiety NOS.

Do you find getting the right diagnosis and label is important 🤔 Or not so much.
