| I definitely have separation anxiety with my partner. Sometimes I can miss my partner so much it hurts when we are just in separate rooms. Sometimes we are only streets apart. Sometimes several hundred miles. I just cannot deal. Being at work is a challenge. I also have some kind of anxiety when my ... |

| To A_Floating_Moon Ah, all right. And no, nothing very helpful at all. Reading/listening/watching only small parts at a time isn't working. I am no longer in psychotherapy but I see my psychiatrist at the end of August. I may ask to go back into therapy because I clearly still need help with life. |

| He absolutely should know not to do that. My mother did something similar when I was in my teens and trying to drive. She thought I was too close to cars parked on the side of the road snd grabbed the wheel from me and yelled at me. I had a panic attack. I can't drive with her or anyone other than m... |

| That seems to be my only coping strategy is to just stop and involve myself in something entirely different and with a low possibility of stimulation, but still interesting. |

| Embarrassingly, I don't really know what that means. Specifically the resisting the urge to poke at me for a while. I think you mean ask questions? It doesn't bother me if you ask questions, if that is the concern. This is also possibly the very first time I have admitted I didn't understand what so... |

| Sometimes it is anxiety, sometimes I am so happy and excited and enthusiastic, sometimes I get mad (if it is someone writing and article and they are bigots, for example). So, all of the above?

| Major depressive disorder, dysthymia, and panic disorder, here. Take Zoloft for depression and Seroquel to help stabilize things and put me to sleep. Nothing specifically for panic, unfortunately. |
