And this coupled with the weird crap my mind is kicking up is making for a really unpleasant tough time right now. I'm working hard on my coping resources, breathing techniques etc etc and I found on youtube 2 brilliant anxiety and relaxation. I hope I'm allowed to say his name?Search for David Fairweather

Pam,
This is so unfair. One step forward and two steps back....I hope all this work comes to a positive outcome while you are away.
I just learned a great, quick relaxation technique in yoga class yesterday.
Put your right thumb on your right nostril and breath in slowly,deeply, filling
your belly like a large balloon, then slowly let it out through lightly pursed lips.
Keep repeating til the anxiety has subsided. This worked very well for me.
We did it for about 8-10 breathes.
Sending hugs and prayers,
D.
