I am another woman with lifelong anxiety and adult depression (probably from all the anxiety)......I started having panic attack when I was too young to know what they were and at that time, no one knew how to treat it anyway. <br /><br />I was the mother you just described yourself as, only I didn't call out for help. Luckily, I had family on both sides very near and I could take the boys and drop them off for a time of relief. I also put on a very good face for the outside people in my life. Still do for that matter even at 60.....BUT as an adult I finally went to a psychiatrist and learned that I had been suffering unmedicated for many years. Since I've been on medication, I'm better.....mostly just minor anxiety now! <br /><br />So, I for one am so proud of you for reaching out when you knew you needed to! I am so glad to "meet" you through this huge, supportive land of bloggers!nancygraycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05288996419936475583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-782595248359232512.post-59931640061377269862012-08-15T20:00:45.982-07:002012-08-15T20:00:45.982-07:00Maya, you are brilliant and a wonderful mother.
