I am a 60 year old mother of three young men- all living on their own. I’ve unfortunately had a dysfunctional traumatic childhood and suffer from anxiety and depression. Lately its more situationally events: my eldest son is a heroin addict , my best friend moved two week’s ago. My youngest moved out west for college and i recently found out a dear friend has brain cancer that spread. On top of that a guy i met on Match whom I have been dating for 6 months was cheating on me with men and women. Understandably i am under a lot of stress with depression and anxiety

Hi and welcome.

I hope your son will be treated for his misuse of heroin!

I'm also sorry for you that you were cheated on.

Best wishes and God bless you and your family from Helga.

Hi Dorthey, Sounds difficult. So sorry to hear you are dealing with all that. Just wondering what you might be doing to cope? I too suffer from anxiety and depression. I usually hide it well, but it's getting the best of me. Starting a new medication today. Take good care of yourself.

That’s really a tough situation which makes it almosg impossible to see a bright side, but I want to tell you that it’s going to be alright eventually. You just do well to express yourself more, talking about it makes if easier
