Sorry, I hit the post reply button too soon. Anyway, I do appreciate what you all have had to say. I guess, since I don't have many alternatives, I'll give it a shot and see how things go. I do like the idea of (during the school year) possibly seeing the therapist of Friday so that I can recover during the weekend. I have already learned "grounding" techniques, and while they don't work when I have a major panic attack, they are useful for more genaral anxiety. Well, I report back on this in a few months, I guess.

Nic :-)
