Chris, have you tried "walking meditation"?

Sometimes to sit under conditions of high anxiety becomes difficult.

I have some issues with anxiety too, and the advice is never to force yourself into meditation or to make meditation a task or an achievement but a moment of relaxation.

You can take a walk on a daily basis. Go to grocery and start contemplating the walk, the landscape, the street noise and focus. Just be focused in something you like.

Some people can meditate easily, others do not. As well as you can find people who has the ability to play some sport doing it good and others have to work more.

Meditation has to come softly to your life, feeling it as a need and not as a duty.

Do not make mediation as your personal issue. Take your time.

For example you can practice just contemplating birds with binoculars, landscapes or whatever you like. After that, start to watch your breath while contemplating things you like.

As you get more in touch with watching your breath the moment to sit will be closer and sitting will be less stressing.

Just a few ideas,

This is a very kind and gentle introduction to insight meditation that can be of some help:
