My doctor told me that instead of getting some other disease I got anxiety- and it is absolutely the strangest thing I have ever dealt with- mostly I think because we don't realize how powerful how minds are, and we don't have a clue to all of the factors that can impact our mental thinking and physical well-being (or not!) My biggest problem is irrational thinking when I get caught up in anxious moments or panic attacks. If you can talk yourself down, or use medication to help you control your symptoms and your fear of those guys in the white coats coming, perhaps you can find your way out of this jungle. Take a deep breath, or a 1000, and hang on until you get to your doc- sending good, supportive thoughts your way. Julie
