> hey daemon, I read your long post and man thats cool I sometimes post long ones too ..and I feel that they are so long that no one will read or respond to them............anyhow just a thought that homophobia thing? I know it might sound crazy but that could be a slight symptom akin to OCD- I do know this for FACT; most of the anxiety orders tend to over lap ea. other SA & OCD many times occur together but are treatable!! I am not trying to label you but I have had similar phobias in the past and finally realized that I was NOT gay. but the fact that you have a phobia about gays can sometimes be an irrational fear that you might be gay.. PLEASE DO NOT THINK THAT I AM INFERRING THAT YOU MIGHT BE GAY! I DON'T KNOW YOU SO I AM NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT CALL. FWIW my brother is living the gay lifestyle. I love him regardless ! ;)
> and even though I used to think I might be gay, I realized I was not, I found out years later that this was a OCD fear... I don't know and I don't want to offend anyone either but you might want to look into this possibility of you possibly being 'homophobic'! cuz of possibilty of OCD
> if you want more info about why I think it is that you might be suffering this - please feel free to post me back!!

I feel like this is a great thing to have to in regards to having a place to post your fears and opinions etc etc. Anyways...one time I read something really interesting about anxiety disorders and barbituates. It said (I cannot remember where I found this of course) but anyway it said that if you have a chronic anxiety disorder you will not get addicted to barbituates because your brain does not have what the barbituates gives you. A regular brain will get addicted but real anxiety suffering indviduals clinically do not get addicted. I have NO idea if this is true. But I will say that high doses of barbituates have helped but they are hard for me to get. I have never had a doc that was very supportive on giving me really what I have needed. I have mild agoraphobia and GAD. I am weaning off of the godda@@ Effexor Xr which has done nothing but make me suffer. I will not go inot that right now because I am so far from myself weaning off this sh@@ that I should stop now
