My Story of How I Cured Severe Anxiety

by Apryl Myers

Hi! My name is Apryl Myers. I have had severe depression and anxiety disorder for pretty much my whole life, but got worse after I had a kid. It may have been because I lived in an abusive home, and had a blind woman for a mother, but either way, I am the way I am today whether it came from that or not. Like you I have tried a variety of pills and all seemed to work for a little bit, then I lost interest in taking them, and/or felt they weren’t working. What i found that works for me is the three steps of keeping my body sane (naturally). One, mentally. I started going to school, and am learning new things every day. It seems to help me feel like I’m doing something with my life, instead of having my mind on idle that seems to be where depression starts off. Two, physically. I participate in running almost every day, which is a bit extreme for some, but makes me feel good when I do. It makes my body kick natural endorphins around and makes me feel positive about my body’s future. Finally, the third thing is spiritually. Whether be Yoga, or some form of religion, getting in touch with the world makes you feel good about your far future, calms you down, and tends to make you think happily about your life. Right now I wish I could say that I was doing all three of these, But I have seemed to fall off two of them (maybe just because school has had its summer) But I can tell you that if any one decides to do this, They will feel an increase in happiness and well being in there life. Just try it out small, and then go from there!
