I have cronic anxiety, depression and ADH .. i am 60 and my situation, abilitiy to control my behavior is worse in the past few years.

There is a program called Bounce Back .. for depression and anxiety ,, originates in Scotland .. v good start.

Trying to use cognitive .. BT stuff .. slow breathing, avoid telling myself stories, particularly with driving … motorists can be scary.

My wife handles many of the daily details. I can only manage 1 thing at a time, if things go sideways i fall apart .. still work in progress

as i learn how much of my old behavior was/is inappropriate … wellbutrin and seratonin to quiet the monkey mind .. not working yet.

best of luck i find holding my cat is soothing and weaving focuses me on the present moment .. that helps/
