TOTAL BREAKDOWN

I am totally disabled and tortured - started when my wife of 42 years was diagnosed with late stage cancer and my having health problems.

My days are white knuckle trying to stay on planet earth and survive the seconds. Yes I have a therapist, tried many medication over the years - allergic to all of them.

I need people to talk to - this is my worst anxiety ever....EVER!!

Hi Rix,

I just read your post and am sorry to hear,

Also sorry that your allergic to all meds but its good to have a support worker like you have but still not the same as i can imagine you feeling so trapped,

Yes it's most definitely good to talk and im sure you will have many replies,

There will always be someone here to talk to wether it be the weather or whatever your preference,

All the best 👍

I am so sorry to hear of your wife's diagnosis and that you also have health problems. That must make the anxiety so much worse. I am glad that you have a therapist. I am glad you are here reaching out for support. There are so many good people here who support each other. You don't have to go through it alone. You can talk to us.

I know that feeling so well, and it's the worst! I wish I had the right advise or solution for you, all of us! I started off thinking you can try this or that, but I don't want or need that when I'm in that much panic. I will tell you, you are being heard. You are not alone. You are worthy of help. I know it feels like it will never stop, that's the cruelty of this illness. But, I promise if you can just hold on, it will get a little better. Hang in there please. You are not alone. We are here.

I'm pretty sure you've come to the right place, we can talk for hours! Welcome! we are all survivors of depression from one cause or another. We stay to help others. For instance I'm a survivor of Marital abuse.

Some of us come and go, a couple are AWOL at the moment, but they will probably be back, when they feel up to it.

Some drop in from time to time, I recently had to take a break, but I'm back again.

Cheers, Midori
