> Llurpsie - have you tried yoga? A lot of times I can't do meditation because it makes things worse, but yoga helps me a lot because it makes me more focused on my movements, but in a way that is very purposeful and calming to me. And I can feel strong even though I'm physically one of the weakest people I know.

Sunny! you're in the supportive ZONE today. :) thanks for responding so thoughtfully. I've done some yoga on and off through the years. It helps for sure. Now to get my icky heart to recognize that help and good feelings are what I deserve and need. That's the real struggle.

I just did a guided meditation that I found on the internet. I feel like part of my body now, rather than out of my body. I feel this kind of deep heavy velvet inside that sure beats the strobe lights of constant anxiety. Maybe one can pull the velvet drapes over the strobe light with regular practice? I just have to try to not be critical with myself if I miss a day or get the bad feelings coming back.

perhaps I need the "guide" part of guided meditation to keep me out of the place where my thorax seizes up and I panic. I have no doubt that yoga is another way. Aside from the headstands and such, I think I would enjoy doing yoga more regularly.

Let me know how it's working for you? I know that there are other regular yoga folks out there, like scratchpad, for instance.

For me, anything that slows down the mind is a good thing.
