Joan,Ah yes, emotional addiction can be worse than physical addiction, because of the fear involved. Yet, as you start feeling better and stronger, you will notice it waning. And as for being sensitive? LOL! I believe that is something that we may share, may have to live with, deal with, and put into perspective.I understand what you mean by wanting to keep your emotions muted, yet look at the flip side. You will get to experience joy again, you will relish in the feeling of being happy. wow! Yes, there is the sadness and there is fear but those feelings give us the opportunity to ask ourselves what is wrong and either to correct it or accept it. And even while accepting it and moving on, there is healing. Also, and believe me I don't do well with "sad,fear," and "insecurity," but God gave us tears of a reason. It is okay to cry and crying can be cleansing. Even crying for hours. This is part of life and by shutting down our emotions, we shut out a big part of life. Oh, I know..... sometimes that can sound appealing.... lol, but going through the hurt, experiencing, facing it, and walking out the other side, is the only way to heal. Tears and pain never caused anxiety. It is the suppression of these that truly cause the anxiety and panic and the antidepressants keep us following on the same path never achieving total healing. Think back to when you first got the anxiety. Okay, I will use myself as an example. I never acknowledged the pain. I "pretended" to be happy and after a little bit, the panic surfaced. It is important to be positive but we must always acknowledge our pain, our hurt, our disappointments and then deal with these in a positive and constructive way. Ignoring and burying these horrid feelings only causes more harm.It's okay to get philosophical. The overwhelming pain in life is just that, life. But our lives truly do not have to mirror that pain. We have the power to create our own lives, positive and happy lives. We are the conductors in the orchestra of life around us. Does this mean that hurt and pain will never sneak through, maybe even tragedy..... again? Unfortunately, no. But we can learn to effectively use our emotions. We can cry, we can mourn, and then we can heal. And most often we heal as stronger and better people.And see, you are starting to "discover" natural health, little by little, step-by-step, just like I did. Take the colloidal gold, trace minerals, Omega 3's and iodine supplementation, I take Iodoral. Just do that, and you will see the difference in a while. And if you do choose to take colloidal gold, let me recommend that you get it from Utopia Silver . Besides being of the highest quality, it is owned by Tony's boyhood friend and members of this group get a 15% discount on items not on sale by typing Code LR001. I don't know what is going on with your life right now, but do you have someone you can talk to that can put things into perspective for you? There is always an answer and always a way. And there is always the option for happiness. The thing is that happiness resides within us and we are always looking for it on the outside, sometimes in all the wrong places.Again, be careful with the herbs that you take, as they may interact with your meds. I remember thinking I was close to death upon taking Valerian while under the influence of Paxil, so what I say is because of my own experience. I understand your predicament with doctors and your medication. My doctor would not help me get off of Paxil. Yet, opportunities will present themselves and you will withdraw when you are emotionally and physically ready.Right now, work on the nutrition side, the supplement side. I cannot emphasize enough how just doing this (and it seems so terribly simple) will make you feel so much better, ground you, and make things that once didn't seem possible, very possible. Again, all this takes time, healing takes time, but when done the right way, with patience and love for oneself, you walk out that door a new person. And the door ahead is full of wonderful new experiences and challenges.Joan, I am going to extend the same offer that I extended to Janna. If you need to email me, please do. This is a condition so near and dear to my heart, even today, that I want you and Janna to know that I am here for you, for advice, and for support. My email is luellamay128. Use this one, as sometimes my mail gets a bit cluttered and I would not want to miss your communique.Hugs,oleander soup , Joan Connorton <jecgsd wrote:>> > > - thanks for your (time-consuming!) reply.

Joan,Patients from our immediate area and from around the world come to Women to Women’s Healthcare Center in Yarmouth, Maine for help with virtually all women’s health issues.To make an appointment for yourself, call us toll-free at1-800-340-5382. Our office staff will help you choose the best practitioner for your needs.womentowomen.com   I looked at consulting with them on the phone and then, I realized that they were so far away that even if I wanted to see them sometime the cost would be prohibitive for me.Even if they cannot see you, they are nutrition based, bio identical hormones (if needed) but they might be able to consult with you. Thanks for your response. Janna

- thanks for your (time-consuming!) reply. You are right. Even

the ones I might not be physically addicted to, I know I'm emotionally

addicted to, at this point. I remember what it was like before, and the

very thought of it is enough to make me want some xanax! (I don't have

any!...thank goodness) And I think you're right about the emotions,

too, unfortunately. I'm happier without them --or with them muted. I

consider myself too sensitive, even now!~ and can not believe the

horrors in the world, the things done to people, animals.... If a

meteor were to crash to earth & the human race wiped out - I think the

universe would be no worse off. And the PAIN. Pain is supposed to

alert your body to the fact that something is wrong, so you can react

appropriately. Why all this useless, pointless, cruel, pain overload.

Getting a little philosophical, here!.....And trouble sleeping...I'm not

even going there. Thank goodness for good old valerian! which I add on

top of everything. I"ve moved to Maine (NOT my choice) and there are no

headache clinics here - not that you think they're worth anything anyway

- but not even a doctor specializing in headaches.

I've been carefully listening to this group - and others - and hope I

haven't gotten myself into trouble. What I've done is started taking

good vitamins & nutricals & weird stuff (to me, not you - ex.

astaxanthin...and I can't even remember why!) - but I'm still on all my

meds. My dr. here is an idiot and I don't know anyone to recommend a

holistic dr. I certainly wouldn't mind a bit cutting out some of my

drugs..but which ones? Finding a doctor is such a crapshoot, I'm scared

silly, so haven't done anything. One thing I've done is I've stopped

drinking diet soda (any soda)---used to drink cans & cans every day

since I was in my teens. Nothing buy water or iced tea. So, I'm not

all that worried about getting off things....just what I'll feel like

when I do. I don't seem to have a problem with addictions (unlike my

cousin who took xanax for 2 weeks and took a year to get off it!) - I've

been on & off hundreds (literally) of drugs. - more afraid of

emotions, I guess. If I'm this emotional when I'm "deadened", how will

I survive "alive"? I think you hit the nail on the head! Thanks so

much for letting me ramble on here. Very therapeutic! = Joan
