@craigo3154 I know exactly how you feel! I really needed my meds for anxiety and depression for awhile. It was a VERY scary time for awhile. It was due to severe back issues and pain that led to this. The meds not only helped, but caused many side effects that were not good, one which you mentioned above and also weight gain. Then after weight gain more anxiety and depression and around and around we go! I finally had enough and weaned off myself, then told my doc, and have gotten back to my old self! Good luck to you my friend!
@WMEJA ..Sorry to hear you will be leaving the group! Good luck to you on your health and fitness journey!
@RangerRickL ..What books to I like to read for anxiety and worry? Well I too like @MaltedTea like to read the Bible. I prefer listening to sermons as sometimes the Bible and language can get a bit confusing and the sermon takes the reading and breaks it down better for me. I just finished my book about giving and now am reading a book titled: There Are No Children Here Author: Alex Kotlowitz. Its a true story that takes place in Chicago Illinois. Its starts out around the 1960's and goes into the early 1990's. Reading it I can remember some things they are talking about, but was to little to understand back then. When it gets to Summer of 1989 I am preparing to get married and in the book people in Chicago are dying every day due to gangs and viloence, wondering how they will afford to take care of the children etc..even though I lived only 45 mins away from all of this I was in my own little World. Not only do I read self help books, but ones like these to open my awareness and to really stop and think how blessed I truly am. Every day now I start to think about the people in this story and their lives. How for granted I take my nice hot shower every morning, the food that is in my fridge, the clothes on my back, the house I live in, the car I drive, the job I have, the education I was able to get, not worrying every day about my loved ones being shot, the list goes on and on! I am blessed and need to remember that when feeling down or anxious about things. Not everyone is blessed in this way and we really need to find away to make everyone blessed.6 -
After the insanely active day I had yesterday (ended the day with more than 36K steps) I took today off as a rest day, making this Pass Day #1 for the month.6

I agree about Dale Carnegie's books, valuable despite the dated writing style. I read my anthropology textbook during the week. I don't have time for habitual worry when I'm learning.
Big background worry about our country and world is another story. I find meditation, including walking meditation, more valuable than anything else, and something I can do anywhere, including in a crowd. Meditation is linked to both prayer and physical relaxation/focus for me.
Yes x3 for exercise, calories, and tracking. I'm working during the pandemic. In addition to other things, I slow walk for hours, disinfect public areas due to the virus, and occasionally carry heavy boxes on purpose for upper body strength.

Exercise: yes, 7 mile trail run plus half mile cool down walk
Calories: yes, surprisingly I was not hungry all day
Tracked: yes
Agree on going for a walk, long one even better and meditating during that time. For me after the one hour mark, my mind chatter turns off and stress is forgotten.6 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes two hours of raking leaves and an hour hike
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

I find all of your posts very helpful and hope to stay with this. Sunday was Yes to all three. My daily walk with my husband and then hauling in two loads of firewood to the basement, plus some aerobics later. I am eating an AIP diet because of allergy issues. It makes everything even more complicated, but I really need to track. Thanks!4

Wow 36K! Just WOW!! @corriepelc 🏆3 -
The saying I learned from my dad:
“Don’t worry, because it’ll it does happen, you will have to live through it twice.” This usually gives me perspective.
I am halfway through David Ji’s 40 Days of Transformation class on Insight Timer. Meditating to “I am emotionally free” = “Moksha” has been incredibly helpful to me!
Loved everyone’s posts!

@clutterqueen , I beg to differ 🙏: I am so thankfull that you posted this 🌻, even if not in perfect form 😉. Sometimes what you dont do just now, you wont have time for or will forget to do later. We can all benefit from it, even if we have to blend out the frames 😃.
Such wonderful people here 💐, so glad I got over my frustration and fear of failure and joined you all again!!! 🙌2 -
I searched on my tablet's connection to my public library's digital collection (both e-book and audio 21-day download options) but they didn't have How to Stop Worrying and Start Living in the collection. I did find The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg. This is very interesting reading.1

@BMcC9 The Power of Habit is an Outstanding read. It's right for you! You are very dedicated and insightful.

Daily Check-In: Sunday, November 8, 2020
Exercise Tracked In MFP (Treadmill Mon-Fri): No treadmill
but active
Calories and Water Tracked In MFP: Yes
Within Daily Calorie Range of 1300 to 1450: No - calories were 1,775
Normal breakfast and lunch, but ate out for supper, and just wrote down what I had, not the calories on the post-it note on my desk. Bad move, since I did this Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
