A little about me

I’ve been battling major depression and generalized anxiety disorder since I was a child. It has increased in my adult years. My first marriage was a disaster. And we had two children on miscarriage. My ex husband and I fought tremendously. After my first baby I had severe postpartum depression. Panic attacks were very frequent and long. It’s been a struggle ever since. I’ve been on meds ever since my first baby. My support has been God, prayer and my new husband of 8 years now. I experience rejection frequently. From my biological family and from churches. I’m better than I was 10 years ago, but not 100% better. I’m able to control my feelings better and to press through situations better. I’m looking for a support system and hoping maybe this network will be of support. Thank you.

Hi, Welcome to the forum. I hope you continue to come here and post. It has helped me in getting to know others who are suffering with the same stuff I am, plus you can talk about anything here without being judged.

Sometimes you won’t get a lot of responses but it depends on what time it is and who is on. Some days I don’t feel much like posting or replying so I’ll just read through what others have said. I’ve learned so much here. I hope it helps you as well.

I’m sorry you have had to struggle with anxiety. It’s horrible.

How many children do you have? I have 3 who are grown now. Part of my problem is missing them.

I also believe in God although I don’t study my bible as much as I should.

Best wishes for you to feel better.

I can relate to you. I went through 2 postpartum in 23 months, that's when my anxiety went through the roof. I haven't been the same since. it's difficult but I try to be positive! I don't get why a church would reject you, doesn't sound right to me, makes me very confused. I wish for you the best! Sending love and warm hugs your way! XXX
