      From SusanABCD September 3

      I'm trying to make an appointment with the therapist. I keep missing her. When I went to see her before, all I did was complain about my husband. Now, I'm ready to start tackling some of my issues. I guess I'm making some progress.

    • Close Anxiety

      formerly laniescherr. just moved from nj to nc leaving all my friends and family. miss my ds friends for support.

      Treatments

      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      Definitely works.
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      Works with no side effects. 0.5mg once in morning.
    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      Married for 6 years to a drinker, who is very hard to live with, mood swings, cursing, anger outbursts, critical, you name it. I have been married only 6 years, living with him 12 years, but know him since childhood. I feel trapped and don't know how to get out. I don't know if I can get out. I need support from others in my situation. BTW, he is NOT physical with me.

      Treatments

      Talking Not Working
      He can be charming but is not a communicator. It goes in one ear and out the other. He may be good for a day or two if he feels threatened that I'll leave, but soon he's back to himself. He will not go to counseling and feels we can work it out ourselves.
    • Open Phobia

      Fear of driving highways and especially bridges. I've conquered agoraphobia, but can't seem to get passed this driving thing. I'm ok driving locally and also with anyone else driving over a bridge, but can't seem to get the guts to get out there and do it. It's so frustrating and I hate being dependent on others.

      Treatments

      Acceptance Working / Worked
      Acceptance has worked with all my other agoraphobic fears, not driving bridges.
