Cognitive behavioral therapy, yoga, prayer and meditation, daily walks, good nutrition (eliminated caffeine and watch sugar intake, make sure I get a little protein with each meal), abdominal breathing, daily multivitamin and omega 3's with evening primrose oil.

i also use meditaion and it helps alot. if you can get your body to relax, your mind will sometimes follow. i have found that meditating with some incents or some sort of candle helps to trigger a relaxation response. so now when i light a candle i began to feel relaxed. i just started doing this last week and it seems to be working. the feeling doesnt last long but it seems to be lasting longer every time i do it. also, try to get a meditation cd. it helps to listen to something. hope you feel better.
