hello everybody, nice to find such a supportive place :)
I struggle with anxiety a lot, which is one of my major causes of depression. This affects my life in countless ways; from working, relating to my husband and dealing with my kids. For the most part my husband is understanding but does get fed up with me occasionally. Right now I have a lot of guilt regarding my kids. From overreacting, to now being there emotionally 100% for them, to not always choosing the right thing to do or say to them.
My husband has observed that when I am experiencing a bad patch (be it anxiety and/or depression) it doesn't take much to push me over the edge and I snap that much quicker at the kids (.ie. from telling them nicely to get ready for school to yelling and blaming them for not being ready for school). I truly could not feel worse about this.
So it is for this reason why I am considering medication for the first time in many years.
So that's all I have to say for now, any comments would be well appreciated!
