Top Ten Tips for Dealing With Anxiety
1. Exercise: this might seem odd, but physically exerting yourself can relieve mental stress. Exercise lowers cortisol (your body’s stress hormone). Try to find an exercise routine that makes you happy – yoga, running, kickboxing. It needs to be something that makes you happy or you won’t do it, right?

Should I Stay or Should I Go?
I had lunch with a good friend of mine recently. She sits down and says “I just dropped a bomb in my life.” She goes on to explain that she just told her husband of 20+ years that she is not “in love with him any longer.” In fact, she really doesn’t know if she was ever really in love with him. It had been coming for a long time. She had swallowed the anxiety and sadness for so long it just came bubbling up recently. Right before her youngest son’s birthday party she started bawling. It was her body/mind telling her it was time to go.

The Invisible Girl
I first thought seriously about taking my own life at 15 years old. My mom was a single mom, and my alcoholic dad wasn’t around. I had one older brother who had issues; we were not close. I was a huge introvert. The girl that took a book with her everywhere so she didn’t have to interact with the world. What caused this intense feeling of wanting to disappear completely and forever at this young age? Was it the “druggie” girls in high school who constantly bullied me, who would call my house every morning at 2 AM to threaten me and my family?
