I had three doctors in a row who I hated...then lucked out and got a new doctor who is so sane. She is so cool, she listens, really listens. And so far she has really helped me with medical issues.
That's the thing! All the mindfulness in the world will not ease severe, organic anxiety. Well, maybe. In certain circumstances...maybe. a monk, living away from the world, practicing many times every day. Even then...

It's such a let down to me when any medical practitioner says "practice mindfulness." No, give me the proper meds, THEN I'll practice mindfulness.
