Thank you all very much. I will talk to my doctor, and will ask him for a referral. ALL of the things Shutterbug mentioned (alcoholism, mental issues, suicide, sexual abuse - (though not directly in my nuclear family line...rather extended), emotional and physical abuse are polka-dotted all over my family...although all are observed, and have been for generations - none diagnosed. I come from a long line of denial.
In addition, my husband (who is not abusive - just waspy), wishing it would simply disappear. He wants me to be well, he just wants it to be a magic and private matter. I need to take care of me though - not worry about them. Thank you all very much. I want to feel like a person should feel, I'm not sure I ever have.
