    My daughter has anxiety. She is also 8. She also has a communication disorder. Her doctor refused to put her on meds. We are working with a wonderful counselor. Maybe try that first. I hate to see little ones on meds. Sometimes though we don't have a choice. Look it up on the web before doing anything. Try to get as much info as you can. Anxiety runs in my family. My 26 yr old has it also. If I can help in any way even if it is just to talk let me know. Pleas be my friend. kr45

My husband is bi-polar. Went to doctor myself because was not feeling good. I was always tired. Was never sad, just tired. Well, the doctor says I am depressed. I don't feel depressed. I feel like I am tire of dealing with mood swings from my husband, but who knows...
