Dear s042288b,

I just read your post above and can feel how worried you are. I wanted to share that DBT might be something to look into. Its called Dialectical Behavior therapy and it helps with some of the symptoms you have mentioned. I’m a psychiatrist which is how I know about it. It has four main parts: Mindfulness, Distress tolerance, Interpersonal effectiveness and emotion regulation.

Here is some more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectical_behavior_therapy

Also, I would suggest talking to your PCP about other possible resources.

Wishing you peace and joy,
Kavetha
