I think aft...I am 55 and I personally love the sun. I think after eating the way that I have for the last year, I look younger and feel younger than I have in years. I would suggest that you get your vitamin D checked. Mine barely registered when I had it checked several years ago, now I take 2000ICU a day and I feel great! I swear it was a lifesaver! I tell anyone who will listen that it changed my life. I live in WA state so we will never get enough sun here. <br />Anxiety is more common that people realize. I take alprazolam when I have issues. I just can't unfreak out my mind when some things happen. I have an amazing life right now, all of my dreams have come true, but I still have issues. I just think some of us are more prone, and I also think there are genetic elements. Definitely in my family, but I am the only one who got help.<br />Acknowledging the issue and looking for help are good steps forward! <br />I have to say I am struggling with 55. Yikes!!! Who wants to be old? Anyone who would rather not die:) <br />Good luck!!!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13876597084432433257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260646414461616801.post-42353497415622901972012-05-16T19:42:31.061-07:002012-05-16T19:42:31.061-07:00A little bit of sun is good for you. I think the ...A little bit of sun is good for you. I think the problem comes when people are in the sun too much and/or burn. My doctor actually gave me the prescription of being in the direct sunlight light for 15 minutes a day without sunscreen to help me keep my vitamin D level up.<br /><br />Well, anxiety is the flip side of depression. From my own experience I would suggest you try a gluten free diet for a couple of months to see if that makes a difference. It's a relatively quick and easy way to see if it makes a difference. Keep your diet simple...meat, vegetables, fruit, and dairy if you can tolerate it. If a sensitivity to wheat/gluten is the problem you will see a significant change. Eating gluten free has made all the difference in the world for me. My depression completely went away and I've been off depression medication ever since...gosh, over 10 years now. Anyhow, just a thought on something you can try right now and possibly get immediate results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260646414461616801.post-74417005410034122862012-05-16T16:21:15.099-07:002012-05-16T16:21:15.099-07:00Its great to hear from you and sorry you are havin...Its great to hear from you and sorry you are having problems. I am 53 so just imagine how I feel at times. You just have to learn to accept yourself just the way you are - flaws and all.<br />I stay out of the sun too for the most part. Try the spray on stuff, much healthier.<br />Have a great day :-)PurpleRosyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038204772860553985noreply@blogger.com
