my BPH cycle started with an anxiety attack that I took him in for and that is when it all started going down hill. Then the day before Easter he laid in bed and shook for 4 hours in the afternoon after a night out drinking and then the OW brought him home at 7 am. So I believe the anxiety is a big part of it even though he said he never had it happen to him before but I don't think so. I also found that he would blank things out when he was going through this. He would have memory lapses often and it really bothered him. He would do weird things during these times. There was one time that his socks were filthy and he doesn't remember going outside in his socks. He hates not having shoes on so he can't believe he would actually do that.
