He told me anxiety was like being chased by a tiger and my heart rate wasnt up so i didnt have anxiety. Anxiety or stress, aren't they both treated the same way? He told me I had stress. I'm just curious and it kinda upset me that he wouldn't even listen or consider giving me anything BC my heart rate wasn't up.

I have found that so many people turn to drugs and alcohol when depressed or anxious. When I was in my 20's I did my share of getting drunk and loving it. But once diagnosed in 2001 I haven't' taken a drink of anything. I go to parties or out once in a while and it is ingrained in my mind that I am not supposed to mix alcohol with my medication. It is so important for me that my meds work that I would never risk it. However, others on the same types of medications seem to drink when they want… read more

This all started on Monday (it's now friday). I had previously asked him 2 weeks prior, please dont look up porn on the laptop as his son and tutor use it often. He said he wouldnt. Monday I used it for work, and find all these wonderful sites he had visited. We are also in the process of becoming foster parents, and I warned him, that is a no no for that. I called him out after getting a call from our FC agency that after running a extremely thorough background check and internet check, we have… read more

I have been married for 15 years of which most of it I was abused, controlled and ruled by jealousy. My husband goes through everything that has my name or association be… read more
