Hi - I'm sorry you're having such trouble. Anxiety is often hard to figure out since it tends to be so deep seated.

I'm just guessing, but I'm wondering if perhaps this might be related to separation anxiety. You were extremely anxious when left at school. You had alot of trouble when your girlfriend was taken from you, plus when you broke up with your girlfriend after several years of being together you now have nightmares. This sure speaks of separation anxiety to me - or there might be another "name" for it - but that's all I can think of. LOL

That type of anxiety can be rooted deeply, and naturally you'll need help in dealing with it. Hasn't your therapist ever mentioned this to you? If not, then bring it up to him. Ask him if it's possible this could be plaguing you.

I wish you the very best - I've been in and out of therapy most of my life. My last therapist was wonderful - she basically saved my life! God bless and PLEASE keep us posted, ok? Hugs, Lee
