hello
I have always been an anxious person, and usually an anxiety/depression phase is started every time my mom gets ill. You see 10 yrs ago she was diagnosed with a cancer which she thankfully has been well, but ever since then I've been "cancer-phobic" and every time she gets sick I get anxious.
I recently (2 weeks yesterday) went to my GP as I wasn't handling everyday life very well and was put on remeron. Started slowly and worked up to current 15mg/twice a day dose. I don't know whether I feel better or not. I'm still anxious and today is really bad since she's going to the dr for some very worrysome symptoms lately so at noon I'm also going to take 1/2mg victan.
Does anyone else here have a great fear for someone else's health? This is starting to affect my marriaga as I have little patience for my husband and kids. This past night after I again declined intimacy (and believe me he is right it has been too long and many other men would be long gone), my husband yelled out that if I really wanted to change the medication would have helped me feel better by now. I was deeply hurt by this comment but can see that he is partially right.
Not sure what I'm hoping for here, just some company I guess.
