If you are familiar with the author Paul David, author of "At Last a Life" and website "anxietynomore", he says "Anxiety is just negative energy trapped within the mind and body, the energy needs releasing".

I have been experiencing drastic ups and downs with my anxiety for 6 months. As I feel I should be getting better (since it has been half a year) as I had been seeing a therapist, meditating, taking yoga, practicing mindfulness, etc... I am perplexed- the past 2 days have been probably the worst in 6 months. I have no idea why, it just suddenly came on extra hard lately. Difficulty sleeping thru the nite, low energy, feel like crying all the time, chest always tight, and of course- the usual relentless rumination.

Has anyone experienced this 'negative energy release' that Paul talks about? I am wondering (hoping) thats what I am experiencing lately... or.. it might just be the fact that I have bad anxiety and I am not dealing with it properly.

Also.. any opinions on weather or not our anxiety is typically a

1) result of going thru a spiritual transformation
2) result of low serotonin level
3) result of years (or lifetime) of thinking negatively

Im just losing faith fast, no idea where to go from here.
