Do you meditate MB? I'm starting a course on mindfulness meditation in a few weeks, I'm hoping it will help me with my anxiety and racing thoughts. They have pretty much gone since I stopped work interestingly enough, but I start back at school at the beginning of September. When I'm under pressure I don't sleep well and I massively over think everything. Slowing down, learning to breathe and relax doesn't come easily to me and that's when I miss the smoking.

Also, music can relax me. Oh, and laughing at myself...not taking myself so seriously, that helps me. I'm a bit of a one for beating myself up about EVERYTHING, but therapy is helping me accept myself for who I am, not who I think I should be.

Hope that helps x
