Thanks, 1stthingsfirst - was beginning to panic I'm the only one out there with this anxiety!
I'm actually prescribed propanalol, but I'm the opposite of y'husband - very low blood pressure, so if I take enough beta blockers to take the edge off they can make me pass out much as nerves do. Bit of a tight rope really.
'Think the nerves started when I started trying to 'take control' of stuff and have just got out of hand. I never used to 'get' neurotic / anal type people at all (blissful times -_-' lol). And now I am one. Sod's law, huh.
My major problem is (typical of a bipolar diagnosis, I guess), everything's an extreme with me...totally carefree to the point I'm danger to myself or just a nervous wreck *sigh
