I am by no means saying that you are suicidal or anything like that. You may in fact simply be fed up with constantly being afraid - something I totally understand. However, I would encourage you to discuss these new behaviours with your therapist to help determine whether you are, in fact, fed up or there is another process in play here.
Thanks, Elliemay....I am going to raise this with my T this week...I do not want to die. I have a beautiful young daughter who needs me. But I do have these phases....scary phases....that I hope will not lead to anything serious....I definitely need to raise this with T. I'm just afraid of "doing the work" that's needful to get me through all this. *sigh*
