I've been using benzodiazepines since I was 14yo, they saved my life.
Don't listen to all those side-effects they mention, as you alluded to they're for liability purposes, benzodhiazepines are for the most part very well tolerated.
A very small dose like half or a whole .25 mg tablet of Xanax or a half or whole 0.5 mg. Klonopin will be very gentle.
If you take these judiciously only when severely anxious you won't get dependent on them and even if you take them daily you'll become dependent on them not addicted, there's a world of difference. Your vigilant attitude towards addiction will help safeguard you.

Thank you for clarifying about the benzos, they sound very appealing but still scary to me. I know what you mean about wholesale, haha, I do keep her busy, she was thinking of raising her rates to $115 an hour, so... the $100 seemed a fair meeting in the middle, but it is hard to afford. I just figure... it's probably good for me to cut back some, it's hard to even make so much time for therapy, and doing so much therapy itself causes some anxiety because it's such raw work, so... right now, I would just be happy with myself if I could go from the 5.5 hours last week total to the 2.5 I am budgeting now (90/30/email billed at 1/2 hour).
I think it's a very good point you and others raised about something, whether a pill or otherwise, like even a walk, to cap my anxiety and worry less about feeling alone with all the things on my mind... that's the real issue. I'm not in crises typically... I am really stable except for an occasional temper, it's often just stress that gives me the drowning feeling, so if I can just calm myself down for an hour... that would probably help a great deal. I think I will look into this more.
