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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Hi. I have depression/anxiety disorder (chemical imbalance). My daughter has 3 kids, 9 yrs, 5 yrs, and 3 yrs old. She doesn't feel she loves her husband anymore, works full time , does most of house work. Hubby is the old fashioned type who believes it's women's work and helps only with alot of complaining. Oh, and he hollers at her alot. She went to the dr. last wk. thinking she had a heart attack, but it wasn't. She felt like there was something heavy in her throat and chest. She has had similair times when she felt similair syptoms. Well this is my question: do you think I should suggest her mentioning to her counslor, (she has been seeing one because of her marriage problems, etc...), about antidepressants? I hate to think she could end up like me and be on them permanetly. Do some people just need them temporarily? Please help. I hate to scare her, or myself for that matter.

Most women in my fam are on something for anxiety or depression. i think she should discuss her options with a professional. it might help her alot. it sure helped me.

Can I be honest here? If she doesn't FEEL like she loves her husband anymore, and he yells at her alot and doesn't help her around the house then she doesn't need marriage counseling...she needs a DIVORCE! Save the counselor for HER trying to pick up and carry on after her husband has damaged her self confidence to the point that now she has anxiety and depression. She doesn't need medications..she needs to get to the root of the problem instead of taking medications to mask it. Sorry, I just needed to say that.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
