Even just to maintain keeping it not quite so overwhelming would be awesome.

The hardest thing for me to do was to stay committed to it. Determine to yourself that you're going to attempt it once or twice a day. Start off at only two or three minutes a time and build from there. One thing I noticed time and again is that it genuinely helped after a time, and as we do, I'd begin thinking the worst was over the worst and I'd be okay so I'd stop, and before you know it, all the thoughts and feelings would come back and since I hadn't been practicing it was like starting from square one all over again. Stick with it religiously and it WILL help. The last few months have been some of the worst in my life and meditation made it tolerable. I can't imagine going through what I have without it.
If you'd like additional resources, PM me and I can pass a few more along.
