Jed,

I've been on a reduced dose of the antidepressants for three days now and today is the first day I've felt a return of some of my anxieties.

I felt a knotted tension just under my belly button (what spiritual people call the sacral chakra I think) for a good part of the day. I was meditating a lot and trying to accept the tension to no avail. Then suddenly I thought "stop trying to get rid of the pain" and experienced a flush of energy through my body and freedom from the tension.

Cut to now. I have a tension again but it's up at my solar plexus. I try to meditate and do self inquiry and to repeat the earlier wisdom of "stop trying to get rid of the pain" but none of it is any use. I feel pretty irritated and hopeless. I don't have many thoughts bothering me which is unusual.

Any advice?
