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.

I Quit

I quit. I give up. A loveless marriage, no money to leave, too old to be gainfully employed. Consumed by anxiety, hopelessness and anger. Nothing will ever change. Alone.

no, It can be the beginning! I am sorry your going through this!
It takes so much courage to leave a loveless relationship, I commend you
but just because it didnt work, doesnt mean the world is cruel or meaningless or loveless
I know, sounds like horse shit, I just hope you find some positivity in your situation
"in the middle of difficultly there lies opportunity"
all the best

My brain is too tired to converse in any positive manner. I'm headed to bed to sleep it off. Maybe tomorrow? Thank you for responding. It helps to know someone, somewhere, acknowledged my despair

Hey there, my mother is 68, officially retired. The marriage of forty years is OK (I know I cause more grief, living with them).
After she left the IRS after however many decades, she got two part-time gigs that seemed to help fill the void: she stocks the cards you see at Target, which gives her an excuse to shop and be out; and she's a substitute librarian at elementary schools, where she pretty much just reads to kids (which fulfills a bit of her grand-baby needs that neither me nor my sister have met).
I'd encourage you to look around, join a Tai Chi group or something for a bit, just to mix up your perspective and reevaluate.

    The best antidepressant is when my wishes are honored. An example, the faucet in my apartment was running although the knobs were turned shut all the way, and one of the pulling strings on my ceiling fan came off. As soon as I notified my maintenance man, he was quick to reply with the work order. RAPID response... he's getting my services around my apartment done. I appreciate my landlord and...

    Hello,so I'm currently in a weird relationship with my long distance ex who I've never met in person and it's taking a toll on me. I've lost 15 pounds and lost my appetite, but I'm really attached to him. We've had a lot of problems and I think that has caused me to gain severe anxiety. I don't know if I should wait until it gets better or what. Everytime I've blocked him, it has tend to make me...
