I do care about you my friend. I care about you so very much. And I am praying for you. I'm a nutritionist. And I believe in doing everything naturally. But I also believe that, sometimes, a person needs medication. That is why I am on anti-depressant medication. I used to be like you in that I hard a hard time coping when things did not go well. I would get overwhelmed very easily. And I constantly worried. Then I went to see a phychiatrist and asked him if he thought I should be on an anti-depressant. He said, "yes" and then he put me on one. It helped A LOT! I have been on a drug called, "Paxil" for 10 years now. I had a lot of family problems and problems in my marriage too. So I found a female therapist and saw her once a week for 1 hour to talk about my problems. I am also a Christian and have been one for 20 years. For the first 18 years I used to go to non-denomnational Christian churches. But then, 2 years ago, I became a Catholic. My faith has helped me so much. God has been so good to me, and He has answered so many of my prayers. Without God in my life, I would have NO peace. Anyway, these are the things that have helped me in my life. That is why I thought that maybe they would help you too. Also, that is why I feel so much for you. I know what it is like to suffer like you are. I know what it is like to be in pain like you are. And I promise, I will be praying for you every Sunday when I go to the Adoration Chapel to pray.

Hello Michelle,
Where do you live? Do you live in the US or in Europe? Are you Catholic? If you are, the Catholic church will not judge you for divorcing your husband if the reason was that he was abusing you. Never worry about that. Still, if you are a Christian, it is not important what religion you are, or, if you do not affliate with any religion. Remember sweet heart, there is nothing that you can do that could make God love you anymore. And there is nothing that you can do that would make God love you any less. He loves you unconditionally. Find a church as soon as possible. Talk to the pastor of the church. Ask for guidance. It sounds to me like you need to be put on antidepressant medication, that you need a therapist to talk to on a regular basis about your anxieties, and that you need to grow closer to God. Only God can give you the peace you desire. And God can heal your son from the emotional wounds that he has suffered as a result of your husbands abuse towards him. You will both be in my prayers. I promsie. Gina

Hello dear i wanted you to know your sooo not alone with this, i have the same problems and been under the mental health team for years but it got worse after having my baby boy i eneded up in a mother and baby unit for the first 3 months due to really bad anxiety and panick attacks to the point i would not leave my room or go anywhere my mind was taken over with fear of death and a year later now i am so much better than then but still hardly go places without my partner and i still have meds and always anxious. You do feel it takes over your life so much and there are so many times i have thought i just cant go on living like this anymore, no one understands or knows what it feels like to live a life in fear and thats how i really feel. My son helps me so much as he takes my mind off of my fears, my main issues are with death and i always think i will die or something real bad will happen to me, sounds mad i know but its how it is for me i live in fear but at the same time life is wonderful when you have a little angel like my baby boy in it to depend on you day in and day out and he keeps me going.
god bless and chat to me anytime, keep your chin up things do improve and its worth the fight xxx

First of all, you never said anything about your husband. However, you did say you have in-laws. And that you have a problem with your in-laws. I am not a nurse, I'm a nutritionist. But I have had a lot of patients with anxiety problems. First of all, for your sons sake, go see your medical doctor. Ask him if he thinks you would benefit from antidepressant medication. If he thinks you would, he will prescribe it. It takes about 6 weeks to work. Second, you need to see a therapist. And your husband needs to go with you. From your writing it sounds like you are European. Are you Catholic? Where are you from? If you are Catholic, call all of the Catholic churches in your area and ask them if they have a priest that is also from the country you are from AND who speaks your language. Keep calling until you find one. Then, go see the priest that speaks your language. He will councel you and pray with you. And eventually, you may even get your husband to come to church to talk to this priest since the priest will be from the same country as him. Give it a try. And don't stop praying. God loves you. Trust him to help you.
michelle here the attacks is when ever my mother or father in law come over i freak out cause i need space i feel noone understands and believes what i want its all what they want. i know my son needs me . hes the only person keeping me alive ive had suicidal thoughts . i was spose to ring my councillour thursday night when i felt like that. but i didnt i feel alone. i will always remember that my son needs me . even though my body is shutting down. ive developed irratable bowel. cause of all the pain and stress
what has been making you have these attacks, i know it feels horrible and that u feel there is no hope but there is....i promise.. i was the same way i was depressed, i would just lay in my bed all day, i had no hope at all, but after a monthe of being on medication i was getting so much better. your son needs you, Never forget that!!!! I am here if you just need to talk. i will reply more later i have to go to the store. take care Michelle :-)
