Hi Sikan - I am also swamped at work but wanted to post to you real quick

I too can relate to the hypochondria and growing up in that type of household. I have managed it much better since DB and meditation like Rotzilla mentioned. Sage in Piecing recommends Jack Kornfield for meditation tapes and cds. Some that I have are:
Your Buddha Nature (tapes)
Meditation for Beginners (cd with book)
The Art of Mediation (cds)
I also do yoga and the treadmill which both help with anxiety, etc. Do you have a work out routine?

I also can relate to the eye thing. My eye has been twiching for about 2 weeks now. I am hoping it is stress and not anything big. Also, my H experienced decreased vision in one eye & I worry about it but wonder if it is alcohol related. He went to the optometrist and got increased power to his Rx..Anyway, I hope your eye feels better real soon and you have a calm and peaceful weekend

According to the Buddha, praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow may "come and go like the wind," but happiness comes if you can "rest like a great tree in the midst of them all."
