Thanks for the advice, I shall follow it up in some way - not animals though, I have some and I only put up with them for the sake of the family! Apparantly I am de-compensating for the first 25 years of my life which were traumatic due to abuse from the age of 4, both sexual, physical and mental, also neglect - my alchoholic mother wasn't very maternal.
Anyway, I have a lot of pyschological counselling to do, firstly to deal with my chronic anxiety, it escalated into a panic attack the other week which was so awful I thought I was having a heart attack and ended up being taken by ambulance to the emergency dept. This was a cloud with a silver lining, I was referred to my local psychiatrist (it can take years to get an appointment) whom I saw within two days and talking with her, I could see where a lot of my problems stemmed from. She's not a fan of medication, although she has prescribed some meds for me due to the acute symptoms I have.
With hard work and the help of a higher power, I will one day soon be able to laugh out loud at jokes again instead of feeling like crying because I know they're funny but I just can't share the joy.
Just as an aside on Omega 3, I have started taking it, but I've been reliable informed that the oil MUST come from fish, the flax seed Omega 3 does not get absorbed in the same way and has no impact on the brain.
Many thanks for this site and forum, it saved my life once, keep up the good work.
