Just need to vent a little.
I have been dealing with anxiety/depression issues for about 17 years now. I am married with 2 kids, twins, age 3 1/2. My son was recently diagnosed with Autism. My father in law has Alzheimers. My sister in law has Breast Cancer. My father had Polio when he was younger. My mother has MS. My brother is Bipolar. Is it me or does this sound like a lot? I am just looking to not feel so alone in dealing with all of these health issues. Yesterday, my son got a hold of my father in laws pills who left them out by accident. We were unsure if he took any or not, so we took him to the emergency room as a precaution. After 4 hours, it was determined that he did not take anything and that he was fine. This is just one example of the stress that me and my wife are dealing with. Not to mention that all the stress almost split us up about a month ago. Just need a word or two of encouragement.
Thanks!
