Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Hopefully, you can just explain it to your mom. Just tell her what you are feeling, and tell her that you looked some symptoms up online and that you are pretty sure that you are suffering from anxiety and depression, and that you would like to see a doctor to get on medicine. You can see your family doctor, it doesn't have to be a psychiatrist of psychologist. Nothing specific causes these problems, it can be a lot of small things, or a few big things. But that is part of what you need help for too, so that you can figure out what deep down is causing it and start to heal. Let me know how it goes... I hope she is understanding (HUGS)

HI UMMCONFUSED, YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING BY TRYING AND LETTING YOUR PARENTS KNOW JUST WHAT YOU ARE FEELING. IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE NOT GETTING ANYWHERE WITH THEM UNDERSTANDING, ITS OK TO GO TO A SCHOOL COUNSELOR, OR MAYBE A PASTOR. BUT HOPEFULLY YOUR PARENTS WILL UNDERSTAND JUST HOW YOU ARE FEELING, AND GET YOU THE HELP YOU NEED. I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT. STAY STRONG AND GOD BLESS YOUNG LADIE:)

If you are having a hard time explaining things you are going through by talking out loud perhaps you could write your mom a letter. Sometimes writing for some people can really help express exactly what they are going through and what their hopes and expectations are as well as what they hope to achieve from other people regarding advice and support. If you are comfortable in doing so perhaps you could try that.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
