[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 750632, member: 15032"] Good that you are doing everything that you can to help yourself. But this still does not make it easy. I, too, got to a place where I had to start taking care of myself because I was not doing well at all in the midst of all the chaos and not knowing where to turn. Once I found this site things did become clearer though. I feel so sadly for those that don't have this resource!!! I really do. My son is home and doing much better however I still have anxiety and feel I am developing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) also. I am obsessed with a clean home and having everything humming perfectly. Now I do think part of this is from being the adult child of an alcoholic mother - I've ready that as adults we can be control freaks due to having our childhood so out of control - makes sense. But I think that I am going to request an anxiety medication from my doctor next month because I am overly anxious about my son's future etc. although on the surface he seems to be doing everything right. My work friend just started taking Citalopram a month ago and it has really helped her. It states it is for depression (neither she nor I are depressed) but off record is also used for anxiety, so it's worth a try. I've got to quit obsessing over everything. It's not good for me, my marriage, or my son. [/QUOTE]
