I haven't gotten the dandelion tea yet which I ordered. It supposedly a great diuretic and might help to lower cholesterol.

Bobby ~ I have been reading "Full Catastrophic Living" by Joh Kabat-Zinn. It's been helpful for me.
Also, I practice DBT (Dialectal Behavior Therapy) which is a form of Mindfulness (living in the present moment and not judging your thoughts and feelings). It takes alot of practice. When I am in emotion mind, it's very hard to redirect my thinking or break the emotion. Emotions love emotions and they tend to build upon each other until you are in full catastrophic thinking (which I am in most of the time).
There are various grounding tools that I use that distract my catastrophic thinking and are helpful in getting out of that level of thinking.
