Have you seen "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" ? My therapist used it with me, and it did a reasonably good job of bringing my OCD under control.
No, I have not seen that book. I think my anxiety and depression are the result of having surgery. I'm a craven coward. Strange as it may seem, the cancer doesn't frighten me, but the pain I suffer each time i have surgery is almost more than I can bear. I cannot tolerate drugs, so Demerol is out, and Morphine dose not stop my pain, but it messes badly with my psychological problems. So I guess I live in fear that I will have to have surgery again. I've already had 5 major surgeries, and 6 minor ones. Yeah, I'm a coward.
