The reason I brought it up, Rainbow, is because I'm working on it too. I tend to attach insecurely and have a need for frequent reassurance from my friends that "things are okay." I tend to worry a lot if there is any period of time with no contact. I experience distress (even in my friendships) if there has been no contact. I feel painful urges to connect and then fight this pain. I have found that breathing and sitting with it, instead of panicking and acting out, helps me to calm myself down. It's centering and grounding and good to know that I am capable of self-care. It's also good to know that the distressful feelings, though uncomfortable, will not harm me and they will pass. I don't always needs to respond behaviorally and/or be reactive in response to them.
I'm glad you went to yoga. I've recently learned to meditate. I find it helpful during times of stress.
Take care, Rainbow.
