Gendao, I'm understanding some of that and appreciate the recommendations. Where did you learn about that and where can I get cliff notes? ;p I'll need to learn the basic elements of your approach at healing and go from there.

Thank you, Songtsan and Wu Ming Jen. What a great quote! I will certainly take that one to heart. As for the anxiety, I do yoga, meditate, etc. But will try more electrolytes as well. Sometimes it comes out of nowhere, crippling my mental state if I'm at work or out and about. Not sure I will ever change that part of me, but learning to reduce my recovery time when the anxiety strikes. Anyway, I am beginning to ramble here. Thanks again.

Thanks for the welcomes! Is there a place on this forum for recommended reading? Or an online search somewhere to find the nearest meetings, etc?

Hello! Thanks for reading this post. I'm never sure how to introduce myself, so I'll go right into things I do and look at, and relate to. I'm a unique individual and I tend to stay positive. I struggle with anxiety, though, and still haven't found a place to call home, or spiritual home. Taoism is the closest thing I've found, and I look forward to deepening my understanding. My life doesn't align completely with my beliefs so, here I am!! Help!! Lol... I'm nice and give until I'm exhausted. I eat too much. I work out 5-6 times a week, when my bad back allows me to. I'm a workaholic and I'm not sure my boyfriend and I will last. I pride myself on strength and strive to be like water. Yielding but persistent. I like dragons, yoga, coffee and I miss having cigarettes with my coffee. I like to write too. Favorite movie, Dumb and Dumber. Favorite song, Girl from the North Country. Favorite band, Cage the Elephant. Oh and here's my face. Go Reds.
