Eric is at the doctor right now. He said he was going to tell him about his crushing anxiety and depression and perhaps see about getting some medication or something.

This could be very, very good. Keep him, and us, in your thoughts.

I hope things work out for the best.

That takes a lot to do, I know because I was the same way. I was feeling so down, depressed and even didnt want to leave the house much and I didn't want to talk to the dr about it. I finally did, he put me on Paxil, and hubby says its like he has his wife back again! I wish you both luck and am thinking about you!!

That was really courageous of Eric, taking that step!
Good luck!

Oh that's a wonderful step! Some people are so against the idea of medication because they refuse to see anxiety or depression as serious problems. I think it's great that he's willing to take steps to help himself.

I wish Eric the best in dealing with his anxiety and depression.
My husband recently started on Wellbutrin and Lithium for his Bipolar Disorder and chronic depression. Only time will tell if it will make a marked improvement.
