Most people with anxiety don't like being told to meditate; they find themselves too busy or overthinking too much that they can't just sit down in one place and focus on their breathing. But that doesn't apply to everyone. Some people feel a huge burden has been lifted off their chests once they finish meditating. And that's not wrong. We each have a way to destress that is different from others. In the end, one must do what makes him happy. So if meditation is not your thing or is too hard, try something else. And keep trying until you find what makes you happy.
