Hey Jumpy. I've been diagnosed as progressive refractory, I didn't want to believe it, but I'm afraid its true. My anxiety and depression are getting worse too. I wonder sometimes if my whole life is going to be spent trying to take my mind off it. Or having to be so zonked I can sleep through it. I'm hopeless at meditation, I've tried, exercise though I hate to say it, cause its so damn hard to do (putting it mildly) really helps with the medication side effects.
I also have a friend who is inspiration, she has schizophrenia, and has been in the hospital countless times in her life. Her doctor told her exercise actually can create new neural pathways.
All I know Is that she's on an extremely rigid exercise program and not only has she not been sick in the past two years, you would never ever guess she had such a severe illness the only med she takes now is the occasional ativan.
Its true, so there is hope.Best of luck, anxiety is hell.
