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.

Posting this in multiple groups, because I really need some help. 





I am there right now, its very dark. I lost my job 2 months ago, my husband has been very sick, and been out of work, my son has been going through a stage of acting out, he is almost 3, my grandparents passed away six months ago, my husband has been in the hospital all week, they just repossessed my van, I am in a dark place, such a dark place, i feel like giving up hope, but i can't because of my son, however i just dont think i can keep living like this, something has to give. my parents moved across the state, i just feel alone, even though i know im not. i dont know how this has become my life. i dont know how to get out of this dark hole that i am in. i don't know what to do anymore.

Ouch. That's allot to juggle. I did allot of acting out with my three year olds when I was going through my own renditions of young family stress. My shrinks claimed it would help me to vent my emotions. Now that those 3 year olds are middle-aged, I wonder if that is part of what is *wrong* with the next generation. Just wondering. . .

I try to spend more time on offering gentle support to those currently navigating those middle aged stresses. It's allot to sort.

Lots of deep, calming breaths, Ariel. Easy does it.

Hey, my name is Jamie and I know where your coming from. I lost my job a month and a half ago, been struggling with an alcohol addiction, my partner's been stressed out about his dad being in the hospital. The one thing we all have to hang onto is hope. There is hope in that dark corner your in in your life. Usually something does give, sometimes it just takes a little more time for some of us than it does others. My partner has to handle his fathers affairs. Currently his father is in a psychiatric ward of a local hospital suffering from hallucinations. I can be a good support for me partner or anybody else having a rough time. I just needed to get it out to somebody and didn't know who else to turn too. I know no matter how tough things get suicide is never a good answer. There are lots of good people on here and glad to see your opening up. If you need anything let me know Jamie

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
