Anyone use Calm or something similar?

I've been incredibly stressed since the start of the year. I can usually work stuff out in my head, but the inner turmoil is really starting to get to me. My next step is to see a therapist if I can't make some progress.

Thanks for the feedback.
May your days be long, til kingdom come.

    My 16 year old daughter said that her Chemistry teacher uses Calm in class. She hates it.

    K suffers from severe test anxiety and gave me the scoop when I suggested it to her. 

    I used to meditate. That was incredibly helpful.

    I've never meditated before. I want to give it a shot.

    Anything particular about Calm that your daughter didn't like? I think there's a free version. I might give it a whirl.

    Thanks for your insight.

    I've used the free version of Headspace ... it has 3-5 minute guided meditations.  I think it was helpful but it never quite 'clicked' for me.
    Suggest trying it out.  Good luck.

    I've been doing a LOT of breathing. Deep breathing, whenever I feel like I'm gonna get upset. It has helped.

    I've talked to a select few people, people I trust. There's no real answer to the primary situation (my relationship).

    I will check your thread out. Thank you.
    May your days be long, til kingdom come.
