I agree about meditation -- my method is a little different, but it amounts to the same thing, quieting the mind. And consistency is the key: if you do it, do it every day, even twice a day. Think of it as medicine. Last summer for several weeks while I was waiting to see a psychiatrist -- I live out in the sticks, not many pdocs around here -- meditation helped me get through the worst of a huge resurgence of anxiety. Now, even though I'm on Cymbalta and the anxiety is under control, I find meditation very calming -- the effects extend out from the meditation period and into the rest of my life.
