If anyone is suffering more specifically from panic disorder (I realize panic disorder hasn't been brought up, but in case anyone is lurking and could use a book more specific to panic disorder, panic attacks, agoraphobia, etc.), I highly recommend this workbook: Mastery of Your Anxiety and Panic: Workbook (Treatments That Work) 4th Edition https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0195311353 You can access the worksheets from the workbook I linked to above for free here (but the worksheets are a bit more useful I think if you use them in conjunction with reading the book step by step): https://www.oxfordclinicalpsych.com/...58-appendix-10 My doctor and I cannot figure out why this workbook is more expensive compared to other anxiety workbooks (I think I paid just under $40 for it), but I found it worth the cost since it is tailored specifically to those suffering primarily from panic disorder and its associated symptoms. |

Thanks for the link. I did have a few panic attacks, but fortunately they seem to subside once my anxiety was more under control.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their suggestions on workbooks for anxiety.
The work I've done to manage my depression seems to have made a huge difference, but I'm still prone to anxiety and I'm looking for ways to continue improving my skills managing that as well. Hobby-wise, I rediscovered my sewing machine so I could make some masks and wound up getting back in to sewing. I made some masks, but once I used up the fabric I had in the house, I started browsing youtube and a quilting video inspired me to buy some fabric and give it a try. I've made two small quilts and some tote bags so far. Just last night I started a new project using a strip tube ruler. So much fun, and it makes me feel so brilliant! I assume all that delight is good for my psyche, so I plan to keep it up. Quote:
Last spring when I started obsessively watching videos on youtube, I had no idea that they'd do me so much good. I managed to combine my new journaling habit with my cooking goals and made a separate notebook for recipes that I keep right by the computer. It's been so handy to just reach for that when I want to try something new. Whatever system I used to use didn't work nearly this well. The only other hobby I've neglected is my jigsaw puzzles. My card table is doing double duty in the sewing room, so I need to find a new place to play. Puzzles can be so peaceful.

I'm still not doing it as consistently as I should but I finally started a meditation practice. It really helps to ground me and when I start getting anxious about the state of the world in general.
I discovered Ballet Physique Streaming (LOVE!) and have been more consistent than ever with barre workouts. |

I got good at keeping up with UnF*** Your Habitat but slacked off when the days got darker. I still kept up better than pre-UFYH. I keep a chart in the kitchen with a daily task list and more often then not have been checking off at least two items.
Now that the holidays are over I'll be getting serious with the program again. |
