This feeling in my chest using ASC?

[apollolux]

Have you tried mindfulness meditation on it? Meaning: lie down, close your eyes, accept its there and (now that its there) just start being curious about it. Is it a warm feeling, cold, like a pressure, is there a texture, are there other feelings like that in your body, ..., how does it actually feel when you let yourself sink in it like a bathtub and relax, is it really that bad or could you live with it? Maybe smile a little - does the feeling prevent that?

Haven't tried mindfulness meditation yet, but my therapist gave me a CD "The Mindful Way Through Depression" to try. I'll give it a try over the weekend if I feel the sensation.

Before analyzing it more closely, it feels very similar to the feeling I had right before I found out my ex-girlfriend was trying to get me expelled from high school. That time it was so intense I actually stayed home from school and went to the ER to get it checked out, and the next day I was called into the dean's office and they informed me she made a particularly serious claim against me. From start to finish they prevented me from defending myself properly and my mother forced me to accept a suspension instead of allowing me to fight back with legal action.
