[QUOTE="hipperq, post: 551541, member: 15192"] It really will get better. Nope, no one cries constantly for the rest of their life (though sometimes it feels like it!). I have been in the midst of depression/panic/hopelessness/fear of the future many, many times; often at the start of school. (Even the precious neighbor kids are more difficult at this time of year.) I can remember sitting with a photo album amazed to realize that when x picture was taken I did not feel anxious at all, as it felt like I always had been and always would be feeling this awful. It doesn't happen overnight. Just like with morning sickness, what is actually only a few weeks feels like eternity when you are in the middle of it. But this, too, shall pass. In a few weeks you will feel remarkably better. In a bit longer you will likely even get to the point of not being anxious at all. It's a slow process but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I work on an ambulance. Literally at least a third of the people I bring in, most of them women between 30 and 55, are having panic attacks. It is incredibly common to feel depressed and panicky and out of control. And all these people get help and get better. It will happen for you, too. This year I got the panic again at the start of school, but thanks to therapy and drugs (I take the Xanex daily, on my psychiatrist's orders, whether I feel bad or not, by the way) it is much less severe and more manageable than it was in years past, even though the overall level of stress is similar. You can and will get better. [/QUOTE]
