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...

I have been with boyfriend for about 4 years. His mother and I got along really good at first. I even thought of her as a mom more than I did my own. Then I started noticing how much a mommas boy he was, which is good because if a man treats his mom good then he is more than likely to treat you right also. But, recently I can't stand her. Him and I just had our first child together and she seems like she is so jealous of him and then she turns it around and says that I am jealous that he is so close to her. Which I am not. I think it's great. But, she can't just seem to understand that he has his own family and has for a while now. Her husband and other son moved to Washington state and it's like she depends on Derek for everything. Like he is responsible for her now that Frank is gone. (he has been gone for two years) I feel like since she does not like me because she thinks that I took her baby away from her that she is going to have a big influence on Derek and persuade him to not be with me. Am I just being silly about it all or do I need to sit her down and talk to her about it, again? If I do how do I put it nicely that she needs to give us space so we can work on having our own family? Because, what we talked about before just did not get the job done.

I think you should have a family talk. Explain how you are feeling. It may just be a misunderstanding on someones part and you or they are feeling something that isn't there.

yes...i also think communication would be vital....at least talk with your man first and share with him how you are feeling....

I agree with flfyktn that a family talk would help. Your Mum-in-law needs to understand that you and your young family need some space, but also it's important to include her sometimes so she can see the children. Hopefully you'll be able to work out a plan to suit everyone and keep everyone happy. My son has a young family and I understand they like time to themselves, but I also like to see my grandson. A happy balance is the answer I think. Just another thought...is your Mum-in-law depressed after losing her husband? Maybe she feels insecure. All the best

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...
