Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

I'm so overwhelmed I don't even know where to start or how to start. I have two biological childen and one "adopted" child in my home all with various mental health issues in varying degrees and well, I didn't marry very well so my support system is lacking. My husband could've used his own therapy to deal with childhood abuse, etc., but never did. My friend circle is so small... For at LEAST the past 4-5 years I've been trying to hold everything and everyone together and just couldn't take a step back; I'm mom. With my kids we are talking about depression, ADD/ADHD, rage disorder, eating disorder (anorexia), narcissism, anxiety, sexual assault victim... and you know what... there isn't anything else that I can do! I can't climb into their minds and change anything. My daughter is 17, my son is 20 and our "adopted" son is 18. All living at home. And IT. IS. DRIVING. ME. LITERALLY. CRAZY.

Looking forward to hearing how things go on Monday!
Taking the time to obtain help from a resource will give you the courage to break the pattern of thought, and give you more tools to help you find a balance that is workable for you.
Best wishes.
