Hope - xanax will only make you numb for a little while and stop the panic attacks. It's quick acting so most doctors will prescribe it to calm you down quickly. It's basically Valium. Did your doctor suggest anti-depressants? I didn't start them right away but I had to when I couldn't keep from crying practically every time I took a breath.

Did the C make any suggestions for coping? It usually takes several visits before they get to know you well enough to make really super constructive suggestions. Keep going and know that we are all here for you.

EAT! NOW!! I know you can't swallow, it feels like your stomach is at the base of your throat and if you eat anything it will just come straight up. You need to eat or you will only feel worse and worse. Even if all you can get down is tea and toast, do it. Go get some Ensure at least. It will give you vitamins and keep your body going.

You must get out of the house Hope. Take the dogs for a walk.

No matter what, do not beg, grovel, cry, or plead. That will nothing but make you feel horrible and drive him further and faster out the door. He will see that as reaffirming his decision to get out of the M.

Be good to yourself Hope. Contact your family and friends by phone. Talk for hours! My best friend lives on the opposite coast so we spend a lot of time on the phone.....A LOT! Good thing we have the same cell service provider!
