Amen brother. 7 months, I was a rock. Then,,wham!. I know drinking is bad, problems will return in the morning, but sometimes that is good enough. [/quote">
Tell me about it man ... sure, drowning your sorrows is counterproductive. Or is it? Is it any better than hooking up an illicit valium scrip, or whatever else it takes to shut down long enough to get some rest.
Granted, I don't want to keep coping this way, but anything I can do to hang on in the interim before getting real help I'm just gonna do.
take care.

There is nothing quite so scary but to take a good long hard look in the mirror and examine every corner of your inner self.

Should it be scary? I used to think that it was a good thing to be able to do that kind of introspection ... it's only recently, now that what I'm finding scares the hell out of me, that wandering around the dusty corners of my head is bad. I think that's what has me spun around so badly ... normally, a lot of time alone thinking would be a good thing, but all the sudden it's just fodder for another anxiety attack, fuel for a freakout.
Ah well, I'm getting off this rock for a bit and headed for therapy ... the alternative is to drive myself crazy.
Re:Slings and arrows barelybreathing: bitpusher,
Clearly, you are a deep thinker.
A wise old friend of mine told me this,
"Don't think your way out, ACT your way out."
I hope the therapy helps.
