Hello to u sparkles. I have had anxiety for about 6 years now and have just about had my fill, but im glad u were able to beat it (at least for a while) so there is hope for me yet. Anxiety can be strange and frustrating. It seems to happen at the strangest times and often for what seems to be no reason. I hope you feel better soon and find whatever it was that helped you conquer it the 1st time. It sounds like medication may not be the best solution for u. Im sure ur husband and kids will be there to support u in whatever way they can. There is plenty of advice and support out there and fellow sufferers. Stick in there and hopefully u'll be back on track in no time. Laterzzz.

Hi everyone! I'm Melissa from the US. I'm 37 & I have OCD, panic attacks, & 2 kids w/ Tourettes Syndrome. I have had anxiety issues since I was a wee child but was not offically diagnosed until I was 32. If not for my kids being diagnoses w/T.S. I may have never known what my problem was. My self esteem has it's ups and downs but I get through the ebbs and flows of life the best I can. My very good friend Staci also had OCD and anorexia....I tried my best to help her but w/o success she passed away 2 yrs. ago at age 37 she weighed 96 lbs. I miss her awfully bad and have alot of guilt over her death, I wish I would have done more....oh well, I tried. So that is a bit about me & I hope I posted this right.[^] Melissa

Melisssa im so sorry about the death of your friend. Please dont feel guilty, Im sure you did the very best you could for your friend.

Take care both of you
