How do you manage your anxiety?

@Weary Soul I hope you sought compensation.

I spoke with a lawyer who thinks I have a very good case.

My problem - memory.

I think, oh, I need to call the lawyer and then forget or get distracted, that is how bad it is.

At this point I am just too tired of all of it. This is no way to live and soon will be homeless with no place to go.

I have a few good days where I think ok, if I had the help I need I could go on, but ultimately... why, why continue when it will only get worse with time? I am already showing early stages of dementia (loss of time).

I have left all of the information in my will if my family members want to go after him; although, they have not lifted a finger to help me and have made it much worse, maybe life will be a little easier for them or better yet for their children.

I hope so, but that will be up to them.

Thank you!

I try to practice mindfulness techniques and use ambient music to calm down but if that fails I may take a medication to control how I feel.
I highly suggest learning mindfulness techniques for other anxiety sufferers.

I haven't read through the whole thread but maybe try holding ice cubes? I find that after a while of holding them, there's a burning sensation. I do this when I feel the urge to impulsively hurt myself

I am currently learning to play a new instrument until I exit. It gives the illusion that I am really "trying to live" and I like to play songs that I love.

Music is of great comfort to me.

Origami. I forgot. That helps too.
