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.

Hi, nice to meet you. I am ScarletPear1945. So glad that you found the 7cups family. I read your post and anxiety is something I struggle with too. Working on a high-stress job has certainly contributed to the anxiety. On top of it, all having to get marriage counseling has got to be putting you over the top. I am glad that you have joined the various forums. We all have our own ways of dealing with our problems. Our crutches I call them whether good or bad

@scarlettPear1945 thank you. It helps to know there are others here willing to listen and who can relate. I appreciate it.
