25years or Sandi how serious is depression or anxiety during this part of her life. With the divorce and seperation of the kids. She just started nursing school and is finally paying all her own bills. When I seen her yesterday I was very concerned. She had shortness of breath and a nervous talk and looked as white as a ghost. I asked if she wanted to go in right then but she refused and said she could go in tomorrow at her appointment. Is this something all WAW go through?
Every WAW is not in an A, however, wouldn't you say that a WAW who is in an affair complicates the stitch more than a WAW who is not having an affair? Are her actions/behavior more extreme, urgent, unpredictable and/or illogical than the WAW who does not have OM? If you said yes, then it is comparable to a WAW who does not suffer from depression and panic attacks to those who do.
When a depressed person suffers with panic attacks, it's like a blind person losing their ability to hear.
Yes, it is serious! It should never be shrugged off or taken lightly by family and friends. And, never act as if you believe she's "faking" when/if she has a panic attack. People experience different symptoms. The labored breathing and nervousness is a symptom. Some people experience chest pain. Some have a strong need to escape from wherever they are at that time, while others seem to be paralyzed. There are many symptoms, and it is a frightening experience. Must be why it's called "panic"-- b/c the feelings scare the one experiencing it.
Everyone that has depression doesn't suffer from panic attacks. However, some people do have both problems. (Disclaimer: I am not a doctor.)
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
