Yeah I know what you mean. What did you think about "freezing behaviour" that someone (Ed? Scott?) posted. One reason I took opiates was that they seemed to make voluntary actions possible. As I've got older (now 52) the dread is lessened. I don't get trapped nearly as much. Opiates for the dread, benzos for the jitters. Anyway these things are part of life. From the old (I assume, it's so long since I've been) Anglican evening service......"Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ." We are no less in denial now than then. Hope this makes some sense.
