((((hugggs)))), frommars, thanks for letting us know.

I also should have asked if you're seeing a doctor, and whether anxiety has been discussed. Are you taking any medications for it?

I have good and bad days, lately. My depression has lifted a lot, but my anxiety remains bad. And I have developed physical health problems that have brought with them a great deal of worry. So I can understand how you're feeling.

For instance, I feel more secure when my husband is close at hand, rather than if he's off doing something and is preoccupied. This is very different for me---I used to be so strong and independent, and adored my free time by myself.

But, for me, these feelings come and go, and vary in intensity.

I hope you can find people you feel comfortable talking to.

This is a good place to start.
