Hello, I am new here ?1

I am a 56 year old man and live in Bedfordshire from Scotland originally. I have mixed anxiety and depression although I would say my depression has almost left me thanks to medication.

It is great that you have round the medication which is best suited to you, sometimes that can be a battle in itself trying to find the right one!

Hi @onelife, and a warm welcome to the community! You may be interested in our mental health discussions, however your GP is always the best port of call for any issues surrounding your health and medication.1

Hi I do mindfulness walking which basically means when I’m out and about usually at the park I am aware of all MH surroundings and senses and enjoying the environment. I’m aware of my breathing and my walking and just chilling myself out. I’m lucky as I have had agorophobia in the past and appreciate being outside more than before. I have to work hard at lowering my anxiety levels and it’s an ongoing process. On good days I take photos as well. I using a step app on my phone to show my progress with walking and feel pleased when I achieve my goals. I set them realistically. Enjoy your walking!0

Thanks yes I go out for a walk in the morning to help relieve my anxiety levels and somehow connect with the outside environment by noticing things like birds singing etc.1
