It has taken me a long time to finally post over here, but I know I need to talk to someome who understands how I feel. I'm taking medication for depression and anxiety, and they help a lot, but sometimes I still get overwhelmed when too many negative things happen. It's very hard for me to maintain friendships because I spend a lot of energy trying to deal with the panic episodes and the phobias they cause. Thank God my kids understand my problems and still keep loving me. They are about the only people I have to talk to. My husband is not very supportive of me taking medication. If you decide to reply, please understand that I'm doing the best I can right now and try not to be negative. I just need someone to talk to who understands how I feel, because I'm feeling very scared at times.

Hi Gina...

I was just diagnosed with mild depression(I think MILD is a personal perception)and General Anxiety Disorder, and you can talk to me anytime. I have had alot of personal experience with depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, anxiety. I have felt alot of scary things and spent a long period of my life being negative and (what I perceived to be)a horrible person. Please feel free to respond when you like. I also started a discussion post titled "Has Anyone Tried Effexor XR?" ( although I put EX instead of XR and it only took me 90 tries to fix it. JEEZ.)

Hope to hear from you !

Amy
