[embo]

hi all.
im going through a bad spell at the mo. I feel as if everyone else is getting on with their life, promotion, socially etc and i am stuck in the same position i have been in for years. I am very lucky in that i have a husband, kids, best mate, part time job, and yet i fell i have nothing as i have no future. my kids wont neeed me for ever, i am in a rut looking after everyone else and nothing going on in my life. have been suffering from sp for years prob all my life and am getting sick of it now. people dont know how i feel gnerally and im sure they just think im lazy but i find the work thing the hardest thing about sp. let me know how you feel anyone. First time ive posted and need help at the mo. lots of love x :wink: :wink:

hiya embo, i feel the same, altho i havent got a partner or kids and i live with my parents lol. i feel as though every1 i kno is getting on with their lifes, finding realtionships, earning money and generally having a good time. I find it hard to walk out the door let alone find a job, just started taking some meds so hopefully these will help. I think ur lucky uve got kids and a hubby really u sound like uve had a great deal of success to me. Craig

Hi embo,

Sorry to hear you're having a bad spell at the mo. Unfortunately, I find that I have more bad days than good ones. That's SP for you :!: :evil:

Heck, I know exactly how you feel comparing yourself to other people. Having SP for years can really drain the hope out of you, and when I see and hear about how other people are getting along with their lives......

However, although you may not feel like it, you have done superbly to have a partner, kids, best mate and part time job. You should at least give yourself plenty of credit for that.

Hey embo, I'm new here too.
I feel the same as you. I think i may have always had SA but i have only just realised it exsisted by searching the net, trying to find out if my anxieties were common and if it had a name.
I'm a single mum of 2 and im at college and have a work placement at a pre-school but i am finding some things at work and college very difficult to cope with. Any time where i will have an amount of adults watching me i find practically impossible.
I have just found out at college today that we have to do a 10 minute presentation in front of our class in a couple months time so i'm really scared now. Dont no how i'm going to cope with that 8O
