I know it's terrible when a family splits up, but thank God you still get to see your children. This is what has kept me in my marriage - I don't want my kids to suffer from a split.

We're more than just our outer appearance. I spoken several times about this Irai veteran who got severely burned in a Iraqi bomb blast. By normal standards he might be hideous but as I watched him speak - I was amazed at his charisma and inner beauty. He even got a job acting on a famous soap opera.

Try to appreciate what you have at this moment. You can't worry about something that might not happen for decades. Is it possible for one day, imagine you're putting all your worries in a locked box - then go on with your day. All children want, is for their parents to enjoy the present moment with them. Are you on medication? I hope you feel better.

I do understand all that you are saying but the problem is I do not know how to stop worrying and being afraid. I know everything but I just can't do it because I am so terrifed.

Medications destroyed me further made me worse.

My psychiatrist just today put me on a small dose of effexor so lets see.

I am doing so horrible right now. more than ever before. I also took a lot of ativan.

I feel sick.

I am so terrified and worried.
Thanks for this!
