My H is going to the acupuncturist for anxiety and hypertension plus he has been having some knee pain. She put him on some herbs and my H is hoping that he will eventually be able to cut back on his blood pressure meds.

Seems that holding things in is one of the factors that put someone into crisis. You would think that your H would want to address these issues and let them go so he could start to heal...but it is hard to understand for those of us who have never been in that kind of depression.
