Angie1980 0 Posted October 30, 2021 Hello. I struggle every single day with anxiety. I have been on many different meds. I had a gene sight test and am within 7% of people that metabolize meds differently. Its been a rough road. I am in therapy. Art and talk. I have rescue animals which helps but more recently the anxiety and paranoia have been debilitating. Nice to know I am not alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonathan123 2368 Posted October 31, 2021 Yes indeed. Welcome. It's so good you are in therapy and it's interesting to note that it's art and talk. Carl Jung, that great psychologist of the last century, used art a lot in his work. I have suggested this to many sufferers. Art is a means of expressing one's feelings and emotions and getting them out and on to paper or canvas. Winston Churchill said during the last war that without his painting he could not have carried on. It can be any form of art, not just painting. Best Wishes.
