I think mindfulness is quite difficult to get your head around when you're just starting but it's definitely worth persevering with. In australia they teach mindfulness meditation in schools. In britain they wait till your anxiety levels are dangerously high before anyone suggests that you might try it. There is a free app called Smiling Mind which I find very helpful. Just 10 minutes or so a day brings my heartbeat down to a sensible level. And as Aidie says there are plenty of library books and youtube clips you can check out. If practising meditation is genuinely causing you distress then perhaps you should take a break from it. All the best to you.
