It has been nearly 8 weeks since I have started on my journey of dealing with my panic/anxiety disorder and depression. I have been utilizing several different medications, and MD, a psychotherapist, and my family: my family the most, by far. I am in my early 30s, and a wife and mother to three beautiful children. It is an extreme understatement to say that it has been difficult for all of us.
I have recently decided to stop working to stay home and concentrate on my recovery and the management of my disorders. Although I initially felt relief and calm once I made this decision, I am now starting to feel scared, anxious, and sad. I have tried to put on a cheerful front (you know, "fake it until you make it"), but I have come the conclusion that that approach, although it works for a while, it is an exhausting undertaking. The weather today is not helping.
