New
Hi everyone,
I'm new here and a bit of a mess. For the past 5 years I've had increasing anxiety and panic attacks. I had a recent episode that landed me in the hospital and I couldn't tell if it was an allergic reaction, a mini stroke or something else. It's possible it was anxiety related. I just started meds for anxiety. Add to that the fact that I'm in a very stressful job, I
just turned 50 and my hormones are running amok, and my husband and I just went through couples counseling. Oh and I'm in recovery from alcohol and a survivor of child abuse. I found this site and it might be a good place to get feedback from people with the same issues. I already posted in the newbie section and the anxiety group, so I'm probably over sharing at this point. Hopefully someone can relate.

God bless you and your husband my friend.
