Hello Everyone! I've been struggling with some depression and anxiety (and stress) for a while now and am hoping to find a safe feeling place to give/receive some support. My diagnosis is bipolar disorder, but I'm hoping members in this forum are willing to welcome me. The bipolar forum is not comfortable for me at this time, not that it doesn't have many great members there.

I feel bad that my extreme stress is making my husband's worse. He's a comparatively "imperturbable" type person, but I'm not so much. I've been catastrophizing a lot lately, seeing only the worst case scenarios in everything. Today Hubby has to go into the city to talk to a woman we're having business with. We decided it best for me to stay home. Not just for my sake, but for his, as I can get too riled up with anger and frustration. Hubby is already unsettled by the situation, but perhaps more a result of my ranting. I feel bad about that. It can be so hard for me to curb, when I'm feeling unwell.
