I am still alive here.I have been wanting to post with these questions,but I have been sick.Then I had Audreys birthday yesterday,which left me exhausted.


You know, Jeanie, I had many stressors in my life back in the early '90's. My ex was abusive. We divorced. Financial troubles. My only ds suffered with ca & died. My job wasn't secure & my employer was making tons of changes. I began to withdraw because of the anxiety I felt. Then, I suffered a horrible depression. Just like you did, I felt hopeless, helpless, despairing of everything. Noone seemed to understand. The real truth was that noone had a clue that I was anxious, depressed & agoraphobic. The only time I left home(it was a challenge) was to see my *T*(I NEVER told him how sick I was)

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.Alot going on here.
Jan,thank you so much for sharing.I had a lump in my throat as I read your responce.That is exactly how I feel*just existing*and it wont go away.Thank you so much for helping me out with the correct wording.Dave has always said I seem withdrawn.Its almost like I am asleep,and nothing fazes me.I actually think their are 2 different things.While I always feel withdrawn sometimes I feel that
horrible!! I know exactly what you mean! It is as if someone
else is doing what you are doing and you cannot feel it!!
I have had panic since a very young child- I too was a child
in an abusive home---- it taught me that life is scary and
fearful- people are dangerous and to hide my feelings!!
With therapy I am now able to BE MYSELF!! Feel things and
enjoy them!! It has taken so much time for me to get where
I am. I am pleading that you find a good therapist that can
help you face yourself! And realize that none of what happened
to you was your fault!!! It takes a LOT of time and work but
trust me IT IS WORTH IT! If one therapist does not help try
another!! My life would be soooooo empty if I had not found help!
I could not do this on my own I needed the guidance and support
of a trained therapist!! I go to hypnotherapy now for the past
2 years and believe me it is THE BEST!!! He has change my life
forever!! I wish the same for YOU! TAKE CARE AND EMAIL ME
ANYTIME! You are worth it honey! HUGS! Judy
Blessings,
