hi el, dont feel stupid, u r not on your own. i am 38, mum to 2 teenage girls, married, and feel so lonely sometimes. i seem to of lost most of my friends since my panic attacks as i wont go out much any more.
like u i have always been there for their problems, then feel a bit let down by the lack of support over me being anxious and stuff.
i think my husband is my best friend at the moment, which is nice but as he does not suffer from what i do, he cant fully understand what im feeling. its frustrating! if you want to talk about things i would love a friend too
