[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I have been going through a lot of changes lately, including living in different cities from one another and our toddler, temporarily for work. We will be relocating once again in the near future, and all living together again, however this move is bringing about 1)Less income 2)Loss of friends and family for support 3)Loss of job/identity for me 4)Obviously changes for our child.

I started having panic attacks about 6 months ago out of the blue. DH has been depressed for a long time, in theory because of his old job. The hope is that this new job will be such better hours, and subject matter that he will be able to have a better work/life balance. While I'm hopeful for putting this period behind us, I'm also anxious that both of us are so tightly wound, not sleeping due to stress, etc...that our coping skills are shot, and we are not really able to help each other as well as we want to because we are 1)parents 2)both pulling from an empty well.

Advice?[/quote]
