> Excellent suggestions by seldom.
> I find being around trusted people helps too.
> Sometimes I goto my sisters and just sit. Sometimes it even stays when I am there, but I feel safer when I start to panic, and I can dose w/xanax and sleep as need be.yeah, xanax helps, but it knocks me out cold. I only use xanax for emergencies.
> Oddly sometimes being anxious, I think I could NEVER sleep, but plop, off I go....
> I agree w/seldom , anxiety isn't always. It does seem to ease for times.
> You have quite alot going on in your life my dear Llurpy.
> T wise...I dunno, do you feel safe with this T mostly?I guess you'll have to read my post below...
> Me and my T were just talking yesterday bout how she feels safe with me, and I feel mostly safe with her, 'cept when we were in the car and she waving her hands about. I felt kinda bad bout that. That she feel safe but I don't. She say that she feel safe with her hubby, even when they have a (rare) rip snorting fight. I feel mostly safe with my hubby, mostly cuz he not much bigger than me and so I could proly take him down.
> I wonder if stuff like emdr, or touch, or tapping, or hypnosis, etc therapy might be useful to you if you could tolerate it?my T suggested emdr, but I'm not sure how I'd pay for it. my insurance is already paying for T and mT; I doubt they'd pay for emdrT too.
> Does vigorous excersise help w/anxious at all? Maybe the runners 'high' would override the anxiety? though I tend towards paralysis when I anxious.
At some point in the am, I could probably be convinced to leave the house to exercise. but after a while I'm reduced to hand=wringing, hair-pulling (but not pulling my hair OUT!) and pacing. Then hope is lost.
> Wish you the best LL.
> Take care.thank you dear muffled
