Gracie -
What a thorough, thoughtful response! I couldn't agree with your observations more. I've definitely found success in managing my anxiety by seeking solutions in non-western traditions. Meditation has, for me, been essential to learning to cope with panic attacks and anxiety. I've accepted that panic will likely always be a part of my life, but I'm learning to cope with it, I am avoiding adding stress to my life, and am feeling more confident by the day!
P.S. - meds didn't work for me at all (Paxil, Zoloft, Celexa)- they either had unbearable side effects or made my anxiety much worse. (though a very rare Xanax or Klonopin does help when I feel overwhelmed) I'm glad that alternatives are available!
