How to stop slide into anxiety

[babysnowman]

Every year, around this time the anxiety starts to kick back in and it's like there's a cloud over me until springtime.

I can feel it starting to happen now so am trying to prevent it by:

-taking a daily multi vit
-using a sad lamp every morning
-getting out for a walk with my dog every day

Has anyone got any other suggestions? I'm desperate not to succumb to it this year. I've done a lot of therapy this year which has hopefully set me up well. Used to take sertraline to help but that's not an option atm.

Liquorice Tea brings my anxiety levels down if I catch it early enough. I didn't believe it but it's a godsend for me.

Just check the box though, because it's not good for people with some conditions - liver / heart.

Distraction! My most used technique, I use comedy - watch my favourite comedy series, don’t watch the news or read the news or watch anything sad!

I got massively into Strictly Come Dancing last year when my mental health was bad - all the glitter and sparkles and excitement.
