Vibrating Obsian (I love your name), I hope you are finding some relief form your anxiety. Did any of the suggestions work? I have found that soothing music and guided meditation can work for me, even just a bit. That and posting here. Don't be hard on yourself if meditation doesn't work the first time. Be patient with yourself. Keep trying to relax.

Justafreind, that is an awesome idea about the coffee beans. I am struggling with anxiety today. I will try that. Coffee beans will be my choice too.
