Big hugs to you @happydog

Some of the mindfulness stuff can be very helpful too, and gives you tools and exercises that really help when your ‘doing’ brain is running in circles.

I’d recommend Mindfulness, a practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world by Mark Williams and Danny Penman, which comes with a CD of guided sessions.
My daughter highly recommended Headspace as a relaxation tool, she found it very helpful with the stress of working on the front line in the NHS.
 
Thank you Amigo. I am very sorry to learn of your leukaemia and that you have pain :(. I don't know what my treatment will be but have become aware that it may impact on my BG. You have done so well and must be a bit fed up that there is something else to deal with. You sound as though you are up for the challenge 🙂. I wish you success and hope that your pain will ease. Take care. I would like to send you a big hug {}

Thanks happydog, hugs are always well appreciated and returned in full x
 
I’m not a huge fan of Headspace but do use Balance, 10% Happier and Luminate.
Balance is relatively inexpensive compared to 10% but Lumenate is the most interesting.
They use light from your smart phone camera flash and ambient music to get you into an alpha brain wave pattern. And if you drop them an email explaining your circumstances they’ll comp you access I’m sure.
