...otherwise known as pilates. I was doing my little 40 minute pilates workout, and after you're done, it feels great. You feel all loose and stuff.
Then, you go to bed, and you're laying there and all the sudden your back starts to ache like a motherfucker. It was the worst feeling ever; the only way to describe it was to say it felt like an earthquake going through my entire midsection. That's what you get for trying to "get in touch with your inner strength."
So, discuss the crazy things you do to try to relax.
I took a bunch of sessions with a hypnotist (long story, don't ask) so I can put myself in a trance whenever I get stressed out.

I tried yoga for about 5 seconds, but the lady's voice got on my nerves. Plus, I enjoy pilates. I'm one of those weird kids who enjoys physical pain.
The cool thing about a trance is you can put myself in one, but you're brain still functions so I can hypnotize myself durning class and my unconciense (sp?) brain will remember everything important so I don't really have to pay attention but I still get the main idea of things.
That was a rerally long sentence.

I do yoga, but I need to find something more to relax.
I've been finding my anxiety is getting much worse and I have an attack almost daily.

ugh. I'd try what your friend did Irene except, number one: i don't have a boyfriend(which breaks my heart) and two: i'm not in school.
do these pilates really work? I have the Winsor Pilates but I do them for a week and then sort of forget about it. But I should start that again since I want to lose ten pounds a month for a couple months. I have a plaaaan.

Tamara I'll be your boyfriend then you can break up with me! Then you'll be halfway to recovery.
Eh, pilates never really worked for me. You have to do like, crazy intense pilates and I don't have the time for that. The best way to lose weight is to eat more fruits and veggies and healthy shit like that and cut out cokes and cakes/cookies etc.

I want to learn how to do pilates. But I don't have enough ambition, haha. So I eat my three apples a day which is helping somewhat w/ weight.
To relax, I knit. Haha. Yeah, I'm an old lady.
