Hi,
I don't talk about my anx to anyone. I have found some meds that help - Duloxetine - and I get on with things and put on as happy a front as I can manage. I wish you all the best.

I think that your living arrangements are not helping your anxiety. If you are able, get out as much as you can and try to mix with people who are not so negative. Also encourage your children to go out more often. Being struck in the house all the time would make anyone depressed. Try and get your sister up earlier in the day, for her benefit as much as yourself and your children.

I agree with this. I know it's hard to think outwardly but I believe your children would benefit greatly if you focused on getting them out more often - maybe you spending some time out with them?

I am sure your sister has her own issues but her lifestyle seems to be impacting negatively on your lives! Maybe a quiet kind conversation with her could get her to try and change.
