Rose, If your pain is that severe, then medication alone really can't take it all away. These feelings need to be resolved, and you're right, punching a pillow is a stupid suggestion. You might want to seriously consider finding a new therapist.
You may not realize it, but the cigarettes and coffee are your way of "medicating" your feelings. Unfortunatly, they really are making things worse. It has been documented that both nicotine and caffiene can make nervousness, anxiety, and panic attacks, *worse*. So, as difficult as it will be, your best bet for feeling better *soon* would be to cut out the cigarettes and coffee(and I'm really sorry to have to tell you that, *I* know how hard it is). Best wishes to you! CarolAnn
