Am six months on from joining and feeling much better some of that is due to DS!! Thought I had conquered my depression/anxiety with meds and counselling but its back, I hate it and dont want to live with this, looking for friends

      From Catmanatee October 10

      It was my birthday yesterday (the 9th) and I felt like I had a wonderful day, then I get home and I start having just a twinge of the anxiety come back. It is all focused on what my purpose in life is. I almost feel like I missed out on the things my kids are doing right now, the carefree time of making your life.......but I had a full life up until now. I wouldn't change it for the world. I was a twin, a paramedic, a wife, a nurse, a mother.......I cannot look back with regret, but somehow I envy the kids and feel like my life is over. It is stupid, I think I just need to find more activities and start an exercise program. It seems everyone is saying that helps alot!.

      Thanks again for listening.

      From HighlandRose October 9

      Glad you enjoyed the rowing. We are going on holiday to the lake district. We will be there with 13 others. So 17 of us in total....OMG...My boys are looking forward to seeing their cousins. I am having to keep them both of school today as they both have a fever so if the worst comes to the worst we may leave it a day or two before we travel. At least we have that flexibility. Fingers crossed the weather will be nice.
