Can You Just Go Home and Breathe?

At the end of probably about October it was the fall semester I finally went to the chair of my departments that I can't function, I can't work. Bonnie and I don't know how to explain this to anybody who hasn't been through depression or anxiety. At the same time that all this was going on my kids were growing up, my oldest had left home and I started to find out that there had been abuse in my family before. And so I was having a hard time handling life."
