Bicycle and weights are not possible. What forms of exercise are an option?

Walking, hikes, treadmill, yoga, pilates, and Thai chi to list a few. For people with severe limits to mobility there are chair or bed workouts to keep in good shape.

I enjoy a nice walk around the park thats across the road from my house with my 4 yr old daughter. Feed the ducks and push on the swings always brings a smile to my face....

I've experienced depression, panic attacks and anxiety. I'm sorry about your situation and I hope it's been much better. I'm weaning off Klonopin as side effects may be much worse. I felt my health was declining very fast but blamed other circumstances. I was so desperate. Until I started focusing on my health. I started praying and thinking more positively, believing God is with me with all my heart, soul and mind. Not always easy but it's worth it. Started juicing. Beets, grapefruit, orange, carrots, celery, cucumber, apples, bananas, seeds, tumeric, molasses (good source of magnesium, iron and zinc. Lots of water and tea: passionflower (for panic attacks), skullcap, chamomile, tulsi (holy bail), Hawthorne. What helped the most was getting off GLUTEN. Had a "relapse" on that, and boy was it bad. Ask yourself what was the last thing you ate before the attack? Rice, bread, pasta, potato (although potato juice is good for gastritis). Oats, fish, avocado, veggies, 3 oz of meat per meal, probiotic drink after prebiotic drink in the morning-- all very good. Manage boundaries and stress. Enjoying things while you do them. Taking magnesium baths, exercising, breathing to your stomach, naps, goodnight's sleep, limited social media and news, having a good time with peoole. I hope you are better, and I hope this helps. God bless. Things can get better. Things can get better.

I go on lots of walks because I like nature and I also go to the beach very often because it makes me feel happy and takes everything off of my mind . I recommend the Paleo diet also or some diet that does not have a lot of sugar
