Hello,



I am new here and am looking to find ways to better myself. I have been dealing with depression and anxiety my entire life and last weekened had one of the worst panic attacks I have ever had. I worry about everything and need to make sure I dont mess things up. My other half witnessed my panic attack and was there for me but is now very distant and couldnt look,talk, or touch me. I think I scared him very much but am now dealing with my end of things, my fathers recent death, and the non verbal shutting down boyfriend that distances his self when bigger things happen. I need help with all of this and more and dont know what else to do.

I had a nervous breakdown in 1985 and in 1995, I was diagnosed with depression. I haven't had what is called an "anxiety attack" but, deep depression issues can scare some people. You didn't ask for these issues and unless a person has dealt with them, they do not understand. Your other half or "boyfriend", must realize that you are still the one he loves and that these attacks and depression are things that you can not control. He sounds a bit immature to me but, that's just my opinion. Are you on any kind of medication? I know people don't like to take medications at times but, one must do what one must do. Depression is a butt kicker and it cycles with more intense times than at other times. I am here if you need to discuss anything further. I've been in DS for about 15 yrs.

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...
