Anxiety has ruined my life. I can't go anywhere alone (sometimes I just can't go anywhere), I have panic attacks, my hands shake and my face twitches all the time. I know people notice and it horrifies me. This is especially hard because I have 2 kids and my husband has to do everything. I know he is at his wits end and I can tell he is starting to resent me because of my condition.
The worst part, though is that I can no longer take benzos because my husband says he will leave me if I do. I used to take them twice a day and he says I was an addict and can't take them anymore. Because of my mental issues I know he would take custody of the kids, too. My life is like a living nightmare and I don't know what to do.
