I practiced meditation before I developed my anxiety disorder. Since then, it has been hard to meditate because it's so hard to focus on anything but the pain and discomfort I feel. Meditation involves clearing your mind of thoughts and association to form, and if you can truly slip into this peaceful state, it will help more than you might think. It takes you beyond your physical self, and can actually help you find your mind-body connection. I highly recommend meditation if can pratice it.
