I tried a different tack, but it’s not for everyone. 😏

I have used the Insight Timer app before and there were lots of meditation/audio options

I second the Calm app. The sleep stories are very helpful, too.

I enjoy Headspace. There are a few actual programs that are for dealing with stress and anxiety which I’ve found massively helpful.

Also...not meditation, but I've found somatic exercises to help a ton with managing the overwhelm. This is who I use- https://theworkoutwitch.com/

I love headspace. Here’s a 30 day guest pass if you’d like to try it out: https://headspace-web.app.link/tcoIspNkHQb

As others have said, Headspace is great. Also, placing stickers around the house to simply remind myself to breathe has helped tremendously. I have a breathing pattern disorder and had to go to physio to learn how to breathe properly. You know, basic life stuff. Good luck!

I use calm. Specifically the Elisha Goldstein ones and the Kumbhaka breathing one.
