Thanks for the replies! Interesting, as well as frightening, just how stress manifests itself in our everyday lives.

In my case...you should know that I am a Roman Catholic. Our religion seems to send "mixed signals" regarding this type of occurance. On one hand...it's the "Enemy" that puts these thoughts in our head..& depending how deep our faith is...is how we will handle it.

However...lately...I have noticed the church becoming more Humanistic with regard to mental & emotional illness. This leaves me feeling eternally perplexed.

My religious beliefs...as opposed to "Science". Lots to think about here.

I hope you can understand where I am "coming from" with this post. When I think about it...I feel twisted as a pretzel.

Belief vs. Science & Logic.
