> > Your questions - and there are quite a number - suggest to me that you are looking for the magic bullet - the cure. What you are going through is a process which takes time. It also involves many different phases and experiences. Some are pleasant and many are not. But they pass. They all do. I can accept, now, a day of anxiety. I don?t search too hard for the cause because tomorrow it will be gone. I lower my goals for that day. I avoid anxiety producing situations. I ?go for it? when the time is right.
Hi Greg,
I think you misinterpreted the reasons for my questions. I was actually just concerned about your experience and wanted to learn more to see if I could help. I see you are experienced enough to know where to go for the help you need. I am glad you can handle things day by day. I am learning that for myself. It's a slow and sometimes extremely unpleasant.
I have accepted that I need to be medicated for now and probably at least a year or two, but I intend to try to "reprogram" my brain. I did it for sleep, I can do it for breathing (I hope!). That darned onion sure has a lot of layers! :)-K
