And yes such a pill would be a problem solver

I guess i don't want to open up the can of worms that my life has been, maybe i should give CBT a try.

And i did have a dream last night that my family were walking along a coastal path, that was very narrow and we were all on the edge of a cliff, my fear in the dream was that the cliff was going to give way and we were going to plunge to our deaths, but my concern was my children, i don't know how to stop these thoughts when they're in my dreams

... you won't be able to stop them, Ruby because they're not in your (awake) conscious thoughts so there is nothing atm to rationalise as such..they're in your sub-conscious and creeping into your dreams..the way to try to stop them is to understand them, to understand yourself...then we can see the 'irrationality' ..the 'crossing of bridges' in our head and already fearing the worst with those bridges when we probably won't even ever have to face them..?...our minds are our worst enemy and far worse than any realities that may happen....

..sorry, I have to be somewhere so have to go but I'll look up some stuff online a bit later (about CBT..)..and maybe PM it to you if that's ok../I do think it could really help you...
