Hello Esoteric1, welcome to the forum. I hope you are okay at such a difficult time tor you. It is so difficult feeling so alone. Family relationships can sometimes be difficult too, it is important to be able to reach out and and talk and there are some lovely people on this forum. I am in the UK, where are you? Do you have hobbies? How do you distract yourself from thinking negative thoughts? I suffer from chronic anxiety, I am just starting to read a good book so I am hoping it will help. I also do some adult paint by numbers which is a good distraction for me. Take good care, Judi

esoteric1, my heart is with you. early on i have had 5 plus friends(good friends) passed away. i have ms, then a quad b ypass etc. i felt a total sense of loss of life control, things seemed to pile up. well i guess they did.... its like putting on too many hats something is going to have to give.At some point please check eating, etc to make sure anxiety doesnt come from another source,It helped me to realize that it was ok to feel the way you do because...sometimes life stinks.free to chat.

Hi Esoteric and welcome.

We are a caring community here, we all have mental health conditions in one way or another, although some of us are further along in our Coping.

I'm 74, with Fibromyalgia and PTSD, courtesy of an abusive husband., fortunately deceased.

Over the last 30 years I've come to grips with the majority of it, my kids have grown up, my son is my carer, as I'm disabled and I have a very nice bungalow in Wales.

Cheers, Midori
