My 17 year old son who suffers from severe panic, anxiety, depression & the effects of drug abuse is going to see a Psychiatrist on Monday. Supposedly he's an expert in these areas, and with adolescents. I pray that he can get him on some meds and we can get a glimmer of hope.

I'm glad to hear this. While I know this is hard on you, it's even harder for him. I hope you can remain strong. We feel so weak when we have this affliction, and it pains us to see our loved ones suffer. I wish you strength.

    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...
