Thanks RW. I am familiar with mindfulness practice. Many, many times a day I consciously try to bring myself back to the present. Some days are harder than others. As I've written before, my brain likes to "gnaw on a bone". My sister has had this challenges as well, in spite of years of counselling and a spiritual practice. I did do 5 minutes of meditation this morning...a babystep towards working on it. I have to say that I found it very moving to read about you finally living without anxiety after a year. Anxiety has been a constant companion in my life for too long, and I think that it's more of a problem for me than depression right now. It's what's undermining my ability to focus on doing paid work.
