> Sabina I think must of us in this support group suffer anxiety, panic attacks, OBD, depression, etc...so you are not alone. If you have being suffering this "issues" by now you may be able to know yourself a little better. I do have extremely horrible panic attacks but I know that I will never harm nobody but me =(. Unfortunately, most people don't understand that we are not crazy and that we are "controling" our symptons taking our meds. It is up to you if you want to be honest. But, I think that all of us by wanting to feel better, and acknowledging our a/d.,is because we are working on it, I've known some people who will never admit they are neurotics, ezquizo, etc...and don't take care of themselves.

> SusySusy,
I honestly don't understand the vantage of the above text. I believe there may have been crossed signals beween us at some point and I'm sure I'm to blame. I'm sure you meant well, just as I did in addressing the "moral dilemma" you petitioned advice for in reference to caring for the young children of an acquaintance.
Just to clarify no my behalf, in case I've been remiss: I do suffer from anxiety, I am on medication, I am in therapy, I do take care of myself, and I do have a strong support system, both virtually and physically. I don't believe I said anything about feeling alone or being dishonest. In fact, I make absolutely no secret of my anxiety, my medication, or my therapy to anyone.All I was trying to say (and obviously doing a poor job at it) is that I don't feel it's necessary to reveal every gory detail of your lowest moments (i.e. suicide attempts) in order to feel sufficiently forthcoming to the woman whose places her children in your trust. I do apologize for any miscommunication on my part and wish you the best of success in this endeavor and all others.
Regards,
Sabina
