Hi Anthony/Deanna,
Have you ever had a blood test to check your testosterone and or
progesterone
levels.
Low testosterone can cause anxiety and loss of assertiveness. Some
women
can even become housebound with fear. This can be highly treatable with
a few injections.

>>Hey all,If someone can help me out with my problem I'd REALLY appreciate it. Here it goes: For the past week I have had some kind of difficulty breathing. Instead of me breathing subconsciously, I am doing it manually all the time, and it feels really bad. I know its mental because when I occupy my mind doing something it goes away and I breath, without me knowing it. But when I am not doing anything it seems that I am just concentrated on my breathing, and cant think of anything else. I pass the whole day like this, and unless I am doing something, I am going thru a living HELL. I really hope that someone can help me out,because I just dont know what else to do
