I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I am seeking some advice for my mother. She has depression/anxiety and sometimes its ok but lately its been really bad. She barely goes to work, is always very negative and aggressive, and drinks more than a bottle of wine a night. She constantly fights with my family members and she's just a completely different person. She's been dealing with this for at least six years. I know she takes medication but I was wondering if anyone had any other recommendations? Any success stories or helpful hints?

This is a battle. A bAttleboro we fight everyday.
People living with anxiety and depression are just existing. ..not living.
It' a vicious cycle. ..more than likely the anxiety came first and then the depression...we are the way we are because of a chemical imbalance in our brains . We just want to be hugged,loved and understood. ..that's about all you can do about it. Just make her aware that you love her,your here for her and if she ever needs to talk...your there.
Also...get her a therapist asap.
I used to think that it would do no good but..if you find the right one. ..they know how to get into your head..make you open up.
(Like some Jedi mind trick . Lol). I admire you for wanting to be here and help and she knows your there for her and whether she expresses it or not .. she does appreciate that. Your worried about her...she knows that...that helps all by itself.
