Good advice Mayo1. The tea forms have helped more than any other exercise and I still do them all the time. So simple and effective. I also make it a point to re-read the cbt book by sam obitz every so often as a refresher and it is gratifying to see how far I have come

Slow progress but over the past year or so i've hit a brick wall.
I think it's the old thing of seeing what you want but no way to get the brass ring

Small pleasures which used to excite me barely raise my interest now. That worries me.

When thinking back when I first struggled with it I know I am getting better but still making slow progress. I have a therapist to talk to about my SA, GAD, and depression. I have my friend peter john who I talk to on here daily. He is a huge inspiration to me. It story of how he was isolated for 16 months and then for 3 months now has a social life shows to me that it is possible to beat these disorders and that you if you have support and keep an open mind that anything is possible just keep moving forward. I am getting better at trying to think positive. I have moments where I would have repetitive thoughts a lot and have negative thoughts. It is getting a lot better. I still need to work on it and get over my fears but with god and the ones I love helping and support me it is getting better. It also feels better knowing that my symptoms are related to these disorders so that is a huge relief and it is curable. You are not alone

slow progress

Slow progress is still progress
Every has to go at their own speed. The good news is that things can change quicker than you (or I) ever imagined

Slow progress here too, gone back a bit recently but not as far back as when things were at their worst.
