hi, i believe i've read part of your posts on ptsd... but here's what i'm thinking, i've had severe anxiety and it is really hard to quell at extreme levels just by "cognitive" means. could it be that it would be beneficial to talk to your doc or pdoc about how bad this is? perhaps you could add some medical help to what you are doing in your work on yourself and your issues and this painful situation with your spouse.
i only suggest this because a person can get to a place of such intensity that the body itself gets so stressed that it can't slow down on its own. it is like you may need something to interrupt the physical stress and adrenaline pumping through you in your state of hypervigilance brought on by fear of losing her.
possible trigger****
it sounds to me like you may be in a condition that may remind your body of war conditions - fear, heart rate up and racing, mind and body on high alert, feeling so close to catastrophe and unbearable loss. it just may be too much for your body and mind together, which works against your goal of giving her space and not being too intense with her. i feel for you, i do. sincerely,
leslie
