Exactly how it works for me. I tried meditation and my anxiety became much worse. Somehow the meditation itself unlocks many more things to worry about.
Conversely, I found out that doing things that are exactly the opposite (of mindfulness) do great for me to not worry that much: Play computer games, go to "pointless" parties, "waste" some money... and of course, physical activity.
Meditation centers my mind squarely at the things that I worry about the most (and I don't have great influence on): politics, diseases (like getting cancer), what people think of me, etc.
