I think that I am struggling as well. I live with depression and anxiety and see a shrink and a counselor. I also struggle with chronic low back pain. Unfortunately, pain meds are too much of a temptation for me, so I try to avoid using them, but just had a back procedure. Going through the weaning off/withdrawal process now and feeling pretty miserable this week. Anxiety is through the roof. I'm going to try and add meditation because everything I've researched states it can really impact the above issues in a positive way. My hubby just had gastric bypass surgery and is rockin' it. I'm so happy for him, but feeling intimidated as well because he doesn't have the same issues...
