Oops! just realised what I have typed!! 

 Just to clarify - hubby sleeps in another bedroom next to mine and not with the neighbours as it may have sounded!

Is the idea to focus on one thing, then the next: or does one 'pack it into' an area of the brain for storage?  to recall it later? not being very clear am I  ::)

I think that the process of doing it distracts the mind - because you have to concentrate so hard to actually do it, you can't think about your anxiety or the causes of it and so it passes. Make sense?

It makes sense in a way but my anxiety is so physical.  In the gut, churning, rolling .......... I will try it though .........  ;)

I know what you mean about it being physical, CLKD but I really found that this helped by breaking the cycle. Good luck!

CLKD I can only really consider anxiety to be physical . For me it's physical sensations, and I suppose we are all different in which part of our bodies we feel it most.

When ladies post, you give good advice, and you often remind us to eat regularly which is correct as it stabalizes blood sugar.  Are you able to nibble on something, say every half an hour, I know how hard it is when tummy turns into churny one. X

Bread sticks are useful to munch on too but I would need to go into the shop for that.  Started looking round the bedroom for items , found the TV, followed by the cobwebs, followed by the remotes to switch off TV ......... snozzed until 8.00 a.m.  :o
