I think that I have always had an anxiety dissorder. I'm 39 years old with a wife and two daughters. Over the last 6 months my anxiety has gotten really bad. It got worse due to work stress. It got to the point that it was so bad at work that I finally broke and quit my job that I have been at for almost 17 years. I'm really scared and so anxious since that my legs feel either numb or cold and my head is pounding like my heart is inside of my brain. I have never told anyone about my anxiety because I was ashamed of it. My father had some form of mental illness which I believe to be close to if not the same thing that I have and he was taking 5 Thorzine a day. Of course i'm assuming this as I have not told a doctor or anyone else for that matter. I'm really scared now and don't know what to do. I love my family and I don't want any of this put on them at all. I'm to the point to where I don't know what to do. I just know that I can't keep going like this as I feel like my heart is going to explode. These feelings and also depression, but the anxiety is worse. Now i'm to he point that I don't see any coming away from this. If I go to the doctor then my family will be ashamed of me as I already am. I thought that maybe telling someone this might make me feel a little better, but I don't think so. I don't know what to do.........Rob
