Has anyone tried any alternative therapies etc? What have you tried and how did it help?
I use a lot of aromatherapy and go through a lot of oils and incense sticks etc. They help with relaxation
I have tried St Johns Wort and that helped a bit when things weren't so deeply rooted.
I use breathing techniques a lot to try and regulate my anxiety.
I meditate when in the house alone and I enjoy falling into the 'non hurtful place'
I would love to have reiki done but my fear of people is too deep and someone touching me creeps me way out.
I like to try and use some colour therapy too

I find that quilting by hand gives my hands something to do. Helps work out the anxiety. Having a finished product that I can be proud of helps with the self esteem issues. I'm sure any other craft project could work the same. I compare the cost of each product with the cost of therapy. Quilting is much more economical.
I've used 5-HTP in the past. It helped get me over the bad times.
Peace,
Jeanne
