Hello all, 

I've been struggling with an anxiety disorder for almost a year now. I've been to the pits and I've been on the recovery path for a few months really starting in April. I've come a long ways from being a home body and unable to cope with life to getting back to living slowly. Occasionally, maybe even most days, I still struggle with feeling "empty". I find it hard to describe but often I feel like my personality I used to have is gone, I neither feel anxious or sad or happy or anything really, I tend to do work on auto pilot without really thinking about what I'm doing or feeling confident that I'm right. I know this is common and the way I see it is that I've spent months being incredibly anxious and worried that my brain and body need a break. This is ok too, really this beats the constant worry I had. But it seems to be taking months. I've resolved to try and power through it by continuing to work and do normal things but it's a struggle. I physically feel like my head is empty sometimes just an absolute space cadet. It's not brain fog really, I feel like I can think if I force myself to and get things done which was really difficult earlier this year with the fog. 

I'm thinking of firing up some more meditation (it helped a bit to get to this point) and I've been doing exercise steadily for a while. The only other real issue I still have on a daily basis is neck and shoulder tension/pain that I've been focused on trying to ease for a few weeks. Any other tips or anything you can think of that relates?
