I need to agree with the last post. Is it possible that the people in your life were there because you were such a pushover? I know that, re: my own experience, my need to be liked was so great that I put up with a great deal that I shouldn't have. Once those people were out of my life, there was a ...

Another thought, Willows - deep breathing. Just focus on it. Not like meditation, (although it can become that) but something about doing deep breathing exercises slows down the racing heart and thoughts.

I was told it takes about three weeks to kick in. I really can't vouch for it, as my period of panic attacks never went on for that long, and, at that point, I just wasn't willing to take meds. I still deal with depression every day, but the anxiety seems to have left altogether.

The good news is that he had a couple of 'up' da...

yes, I can! But the main reason I signed in here - while I know it's scant consolation for not being able to have sex (in the conventional manner) I just wanted to say - my husband couldn't for the last few years of his life, and it made not one bit of difference in how much I loved him.
