“And those who have deep faith in God, worry less..”
I don’t know about that. I think of myself as having deep faith but still had to go the medication route. Sometimes the anxiety was intense enough that getting through a single prayer of The Rosary was very difficult. Unbalanced neurochemistry can be a cross to bear like so many other things.
Makes me wonder about how many times the bible mentions anxiety and baseless worry. ...the be anxious for nothing etc. passage. and do not worry about tomorrow...
Anxiety has always been a part of a certain percentage of peoples daily lives....to the point of being comparable to chronic pain. Seriously.
Evidently many people here dont have that problem. I’ve had it all my life. Just about all alcoholics have anxiety issues....because the booze numbs the anxiety....for a while. I had to get meds too. just to be able to focus at work etc.
Whatever you do, stay away from yoga.
Apparently it is a direct route to Satan’s foyer, I read yesterday on FR.
