Hi all
I have been suffering from anxiety/panic for a few months now but have suffered on and off for years. I have been on anit-depressants for many years as I have a lot of stress in my life. The main source of this stress (although not the original cause) is my son's health. He was diagnosed with crohn's disease 9 years ago and it has been an up hill battle ever since. Anyway to cut a very long story short, he has again suffered a major set-back with it and is very distressed about it as he had an appointment with this consultant today - he is treated at a very good hospital miles away from where we live but nothing seems to help. He broke down this evening saying he can't cope any more and doesn't see any point in going on. The thing is, I really need to be strong for him now but as I have been ill again recently with my anxiety issues, I am finding it very hard to deal with. I just don't know where to turn or where we go from here. Its just breaking my heart as I love him so much. I really really need to be strong for him but don't know where to turn. He is 21 and says he has no life. I have a supportive husband who has been great through my anxiety issues but have lost my mum and dad so dont feel I have anyone else to support me. This site has helped me so much in the last few weeks so any advice would be great.
