Yes, my buddhist practice too - the observation of the urge. -I have never had an urge that I could feel so painfully throughout my whole body, mind, spirit. I was consumed by it - I felt like I was being squeezed out like a sponge. But feeling the feeling is absolutely necessary - today I'm calm, neither depressed nor anxious. Just a normal regular person living in the now.
