The thing that has helped me the most is a support group (I go to CoDependents Anonymous) and in the past, therapy.
Keep seeking - that is key.

Yes - Buspar (or Buspirone as it's called on my bottle) seems to work nicely for me, and if you look at a lot of my posts, you'll see I am extremely difficult to please when it comes to medications. But that stuff works nicely and for me no real noticeable side effects....I THINK I might have been SLIGHTLY drowsy the first week or so I used it, but nothing an extra cup of coffee or two wouldn't solve.
