i don't know where else to turn...


sunday is the only day dh has off of work, and he's been gone all day and i won't see him until he comes home around 1 in the morning. he's at a football game...and i know its not fair of me to be mad at him, he works so hard and deserves time to "play," but i soooo look foward to sunday's cause i get to spend time with him...


there's very little that i look foward too these days...everyday is the same with me...a whole lot of nothing (i'm on bedrest due to a complicated pregnancy).

Thanks!
I would be so happy to even connect with other parents of a teen with anxiety/panic disorder.
Actually thought about starting one myself.
Again, thanks!
I have alot of online support but sometimes it is very lonely both for him and me.
Hoping he will "outgrow" (know wrong terminology) this but in some ways you do mourn for the way he used to be. It is like he is a "shadow" of himself.
He has both good and bad days.
I love it when I hear him laughing. Or when I come home from work and I hear him whistling away.
It is a coping skill.
I believe in my heart of hearts he will suddenly up and decide to go out.
We sometimes go out usually it is point A to point B and then back home.
One thing I have learned is that this affects many ppl and not only the person with the p/a disorder.
Thanks I will check into that.
He has a small group of friends that still come around, and ask about him and that is good.
He is not always able to visit with them.
It is his choice.
Sometimes he is feeling more sociable than others.
Baby steps...one day at a time.
I know that he is more happier not be forced to do things.
It is less frightening for him.
His hair is getting long so I know he will want to go get it cut.
He has a place he feels comfortable going to and likes the woman who usually cuts his hair.
She treats him with dignity and respect and he will talk to her.
He likes to go there because there is a young girl there not much older than him that I think he is "sweet" on.
Hope is what carries me through.
I believe in him.
He just needs to believe in himself.
It is about him not me.
When he accomplishes something I try not to make too big of a deal out of it but I do let him know each and every day he is loved and that I am proud of him.
Proud to be his mom and proud to have him as a son.
Encouragement.
