I have been suffering depression and anxiety for 10 months now. I am improving (slowly) and can see light at the end of the tunnel. However I get really upset easily and that makes me behave irrationally. Last night my 14 year-old daughter started the ironing but kept disappearing to the phone and I lost it with her and had a big row. She broke down and began to cry about how miserable she is and how she worries about everything and dreads someone dying as she thinks of funerals and has visualised all of her friends and families' funerals. I am really worried about her and because I was so 'not my self' for so long I talked to her everytime I was feeling low and relied on her to help me through as she is so mature for her age. However, last night I saw her as a frightened little girl. As she is my first daughter and I'm 41, I can't remember feeling like this at that age - is it normal and what can I do to help??? I feel that it is because of me she is so bad and have felt worried all day.:weep:
