The best fix I have come across was visiting a buddhist monastery, we chatted to the monks, and then we sat down on cushions in a blank and tranquil room, and a monk talked us through breathing. I went in with the pressures of being a single parent full time student and part time worker with essays due - and on the bus back to college - I just felt so tranquil. I try to pull the memory back to me when I am at the dentists - of like when they were shoving a needle in my spine and hitting bone - repeatedly. If I am stressed my blood pressure goes up and I hit the floor - never took myself for a fainting girlie. Nip of spirit is advisable - veterinary advice - those extra two years of training tell dont they. If I am in a panic - I try to pull back the memory of that young monks voice telling us how to breathe. Would strongly recommend the experience. Please take food. They are not allowed to ask for it nor to take it, but at meal time 'gifts' are put in their bowls. Someone asked if st johns wort really works - it levels out your moods more, takes enough of the edge off to make life more bearable.
