:-) I have never been able to get outside the 'panic' caused by certain types of pain. I find sinus pain hard to deal with even if I concentrate on it. A friend who has been fighting various types of cancer for years told me that although he's used meditation etc to deal with all his pain, he finds sinus pain a REAL challegne! Makes me feel like less of a baby!

So, somehow, it helps me to hear you, who have been able to 'deal with' physical pain, say that depression is different.
