Does anyone else feel like me?

Posted by cheekypeadomom

I have been battling depression since I was 13. I am now 32. Most recently my husband admitted that for the last year he had been having an affair with a woman 12 years my senior. Since his confession, I feel as though things have gotten worse for me. I feel like I am going crazy. My mind is constantly racing. I'm more irritatable than I have ever been. Everything gets on my last nerve. I feel like running away. I attend school in the evening and find that when class is over I don't want to go home. I have no desire to do anything. I just want to eat, read or sleep. I'm in therapy and on medication, cymbalta, but I still feel like the walls are closing in around me. I have never felt this way before and it scares me. Please, someone tell me you do or have felt this way before. Please tell me I'm really not as crazy as I feel.

I have been having that feeling alot lately and I have no idea what it means.  I think it is over stress.  I wake up in the middle of the night and I feel like things are spinning out of control and the walls are caving in.  If you find any suggestions let me know cause I thought it was only me.  I think that feeling is your brain telling you it needs a break from the stress.
