Reply to comment by Gmork14 in New study (n=276) finds that a standardized mindfulness program is as effective as a common antidepressant (Escitalopram) at treating anxiety, with both treatments leading to about a 30% reduction in symptoms. by fotogneric
Anxiety is one of those things where sometimes being present with yourself isn’t easy, at least at first.
When I first started meditating I felt similar panic reactions, but when I kept going I found peace in being alone with myself for those moments, and my general anxiety levels dropped off majorly. I was having two to five panic attacks a day prior to meditation, and now have maybe 1, and sometimes none. I think massage helped a ton too though.
