I have what the doctors have called severe anxiety and depression. I eat but not regularly, and I have sometimes severe anxiety attacks that last for hours. Over the last couple of years I have dealt with my son being diagnosed with cancer, taking care of my father in law until he died, raising six kids, taking care of a house, dealing with a husband who doesn't understand why I am stressed out, and for the last seven months I have been taking care of my brother in law and his two kids(who moved in with us), and he does nothing except sleep all day, while he leaves me to take care of the children. And now he has a new girlfriend who comes over with her two kids, and neither one watch the kids. They sleep all the time, and when they are awake, they make a mess and expect me to pick it up.
So the anxiety attacks have been getting worse and so has the weight loss. I am not sure what to do, but I do not want to keep doing this. I went to the store last week and had another panic attack and I still have no idea what triggered it.
I am just glad I have found a spot where I know I am not alone.
