Labug - I've always suffered from anxiety. It's a trait on my mother's side of the family. AD's help, so does exercise. At night before bed, I've started listening to soundscapes (sounds of nature etc). That helps calm me down as well. Meditation is hard for me because I struggle slowing my mind down enough to benefit from it. Reading is a good distraction as well.
IH - Thanks! I'm trying to stay strong and will stay the course!
