Hi milo, why you think you have to be with someone all the time?? you have to ask yourself some questions?

1. why would you want someone with you 24/7?

2.would it help in anyway? anxiety is your own, no one can help you with it apart from you?

3.anything they can do for you, that you cannot do for yourself?

no one can do anything from you, if you are dizzy/anxious/lightheaded/heart beating/ they cannot do anything, the only thing they can give you is sympathy and you don't want that.

you are not sick, it is something you have to deal with it on your own and the support of other sufferers, they wouldn't even understand what you are going through.

if you are looking for reassurance from them, you can have it here.

stay positive like yesterday, you were doing well, keep it up

i am here on line for anything you need

oh you have a son as well? i thought you had only 2 little daughters?? :) make sure he is happy to do it? don't make him feel like he is suppose to do that? maybe when he is at your flat engage in some sort of activity to make it feel like you are spending time together not as taking care of you :)

gloomy in london

the thing is your profile is showing a shadow of a man not woman!!! i think when you start up your profile you didn't choose the female status, so the pic cam eby default!!

hello you :) I hope you well

well I left my previous job after my depression/anxiety hit me (the stress at that job trigerred my anxiety) left the job and stayed at home for 9 month before I managed to find my current job, lovely people and nice to me, very professional environment. but it seems they are changing the system and payroll maybe outsourced (still few month to know but it look like that) is not like I am in love with this job (actually my dream job is working in UN as a project manager), but they treat me well,respect,don't want to experience what happened in my previous one :( well lets see, I am not going to stress about it now.

thx for asking and for your concern, I am very open book and don't mind talking about my personal stuff, would always love some feed back
