Hurtin, Regarding the anxiety, Husband is right, it does get better ... but it takes time. Time is the only thing that helps (besides medication, I guess).
There were some days that I could hardly put one foot in front of the other, let alone go to work or just keep up with the every day stuff of life. But keeping up with the every day stuff does help. Continue to do what you're doing, GAL. Be with your D, go to church, etc. I bet there are times when you don't want to do any of that, but you know afterwards, you feel better. And you're not only doing it for yourself, you're doing for your D.
We had some snow here a couple days ago. My D were out today and passed a house where some kids had built a snowman. I started thinking about how much I miss those days with her. (As a young teen, her social life is taking over her schedule.) So here's a good GAL idea, go out tomorrow and build a snowman with your D. She'll love that. Make sure you make some snow angels, too!
