I'm through the first part of your thread - I relate so much -- I am a panicker, I am an at-home wife who is trying to get through the long lonely days and trying to re=enter the work world after a 5 year hiatus, I have also gone up and down with my DBing- whew, you are still an inspiration to me and I'll keep reading....your discussions with Eskimo Nell were really great. Very focussed.
