Hi everyone, I have read many posts here about anticipatory anxiety ect. and I need to place my question here, too. I´m 44 and divorced, have had an anxiety disorder for 10 years which got better gradually after I separated from my husband. I learned to live with that condition over the years, I wor...

Hi, I hope some of you are willing to share your experience about the subject of "dating after years of marriage AND anxiety"... :) I´m 44 and divorced since last September, I have been been married about 14 years. After my husband had to move to another country for his job 4 years ago, it was the b...

Dear Vicky, I can totally relate to you! I also suffer from migraine (posted on "chronic disease sufferers" about it), and recently it has become more often, more severe and long-lasting than the years before. I think it´s because of my divorce and job change and stuff that shattered my nerves durin...

Hi, I`m looking for some experience to share about migraine. I know that there are various forms of it, and there are various things causing it. Maybe we can compile some statements? When did it start (age, situation in your life), how often do you get the attacks, how long do they last and what sym...

Hi, I need some feedback about a problem that´s on my heart these days! One thing is that I am in the process of getting divorced. In 2005 my husband had gone to a foreign country for a job and built his own life there and didn´t intend to come back (in contradiction to what was planned), just visit...

Dear Kumiko, thank you so much for your reply!! Yes, we should be able to feel safe even if we are alone. But being separated from your husband shouldn´t be "normal", either. In my case it was the end of my marriage, we had severe problems anyway, and we are going to get divorced anyway. But that´s ...

Hi Kumiko, hi Cornflower! Thank you for your replies. Yes, I am really thankful for this unexpected change. However, I feel terrible,and I ask myself why. The old game: something good is happening, but I feel bad and my anxiety is even getting worse.... I can cope with the normal symptoms of anxiety...

Hi! Thank you so much for your encouraging postings! Want to tell you that a miracle has happened: The lady from the personnel office has talked to my friend in the office and aksed her if she would like to change jobs with me. To our surprise she said - yes! Although she knows how difficult it was ...

Hi, I would like to understand what´s going on with me an ask for your experience. I have an anxiety disorder since 8 years, and I have recently been through the worst attacks since then because so many things are changing in my life, divorce, trouble at work, financial problems ect. However, I have...

Hi, to complete the story: I had my appointment with the personnell lady yesterday, and although she understood and really wanted to help me, she didn´t have an quick solution. I wasn´t surprised to hear that. There were only two options, but they wouldn´t work. One is changing jobs with another col...
