I have to say I'm jealous of you guys. I'm here and I visited a bunch of other forums, sent a bunch of emails to experts, and still I can't find anyone who can fully relate to my experience. I'm aware that my condition is not even appropriate for this forum and I hope you will forgive my...

So I've suffered from anxiety and depression for most of my life. I am now 48 years old. I was married for 20 years before I got divorced and I would say that at least the last 10-15 years of my marriage there was a LOT of anxiety. Ever since I told my ex I wanted a divorce I began clenching my...

Hi I am 23 years old and attending college to become a Social Worker. Few months ago, I moved in with my boyfriend of 4 years! I suffer from PTSD, anxiety, and depression big time. Thankfully I have the best boyfriend who keeps me safe and loves me for me and always there when I need him the...
