Thanks Gayle. I have seen a pdoc and unfortunately, his answer was to bombard me with sedatives and in the end, I was on the max dose and I had built up a tolerance so they didn't work anymore. I lost my health insurance after that and currently can't afford to go to a pdoc and don't qualify for financial help. I just have to hang in there until my hubby and I can afford to put me on his insurance. Until then, I just have to limit my exposure to situations (and people) that increase my anxiety.
