Dear ....

Yes, many people with lyme disease and related infections deal with anxiety....I

think it does help to remember that the infections are effecting the nervous

system, and that the energetic discomfort isn't " you " .

I find when the anxiety gets flared, bringing attention to the breath, to this

moment helps a lot.

There are a myriad of resources on line to help with anxiety. Meditation,

mindfulness practices, restful yoga postures....as well as simple mind/body

techniques such as TAT, etc.

I find meditation to be extremely helpful, and lying down is fine if the body is

too weak or in too much pain to sit up.

One of the things that I've noticed about anxiety is that when it starts

spinning the mind can go into some imaginary future (which actually does not

exist) and then the spinning can get really overwhelming.

So just here,

this moment,

this breath.

This cup of tea, this step. This softening in the belly. Here, now.

There is a place for dealing with managing the illness....and my experience is

that learning to relate to (rather than from) the anxiety is the best place to

begin.

That way treatment choices and decisions can be made from a place of clarity.

Peace and ease,

yarrow
