Hello

Hi I’m Lisa I’m 52 and new here, I have severe anxiety and depression and cannot work due to chronic back pain, I’ve really struggled with all this covid 19 and lockdowns, wondered if anyone has any useful tips for me, especially the anxiety. I am on medication for it but it seems to be getting worse. Nice to meet you all btw

There are lots of members who have anxiety on here so sure they will offer some tips . There are also lots if posts relating to lockdown have a look around
I look forward to seeing you in the community

I hope you find something helpful here @Leelee51
I suffer from anxiety myself and find meditating very helpful and it gives me a welcome break. I started by doing five minutes and then extended it gradually to a half hour. I find that my body clock causes me to stir from meditation almost exactly at the appropriate times, but you could set a timer. Best wishes.
Good Evening and Welcome to our online community /family.
