Hi Im new here. I've been struggling with anxiety all my life. I have two dogs and two cats and two kids. Mostly I am stoick and stubborn and a private person. This week has been really difficult the most difficult in a long time. Thanks for having me.

Hi @Littlesloth80
Welcome to the Sane Forums. I hope you find them as helpful and supportive as I have.
I too suffer from anxiety and have 2 kids.
I'm sorry this week has been so difficult for you. We are here to listen.
Do you have any type of support at all?
