My health took a turn for the worse back in 2015 with pancreatitis. Always had anxiety but its been way worse since. My companion of 20 years had a heart attack in 2016 as well and since then he has been less available. Recently he just basically decided to give me the silent treatment when I have a panic attack. Says 'you will never change, you're always going to be this way.' Well what if I am? I see a therapist on a weekly basis, have ativan for the worst days but there are so many worse days I am afraid I will be addicted to that. Every antidepressant I have tried makes my stomach act up even more. Just shut up and breathe seems to be the answer I am given but my mind never really does that.
I have two wonderful adult sons but they are trying to live their lives. It just really hurts that he simply doesn't seem to have the energy or the interest to go on. So depression going along with the anxiety. |

I feel the same way. I will never change. It is so painful and frustrating. I wish I could know what it is like not to worry.

I'm sorry you are having such a difficult time. I see you're a 10 year member. So perhaps you're familiar with all of the articles in PC's archives. But, just in case you're not, here are links to 2 I thought might be of some interest:

I've mostly been a lurker...when my anxiety flares I come back around. When I used to have less worrisome times, I'd fly off as if nothing was ever wrong with me. But these days, wrong has been around a lot longer than right. Thanks for the articles.
And Emily, yup that's me these days, calm your mind, mine runs around like a gerbil in its cage, always finding something. These days my body always some issue that messes with me as well. |
