Hey everyone
im Mark from Southampton UK, im 23.
8 Months ago i developed a panic and anxiety disorder which left me feeling ill and weak all day long and have upto 10 panic attacks a day, this in turn lead to health anxiety.
A month ago i started doing a very very very basic kind of relaxation/meditation where i just spent 15 minutes in the morning before getting up, laying in bed and listening to music and just focusing on the beat of the songs, i let my thoughts go where they wanted and if the anxious thoughts appeared i just focused on a calming place (which for me is a rainforest just after a storm).
I had many wild and vivid thoughts and imaginings all of which where enjoyable and calming, i did this for a week and found that my panic and anxiety slowly subsided and as of today it has been a month and 2 days without an attack.
I am still slightly skeptical bout all the energy and religious aspects of all this but i cannot deny that what i did worked for me and i am very open minded, so i would like to learn more and see if i can benefit more greatly from this.
Sorry for a very long first post and cheers for having me in your community
Mark
