Dear Mirel,

I have been married for three years. I have always imagined that married life would be much different. Although my husband is a very nice and respected man, I am not as enthralled with him as I was when we first married.

Dear Mirel,

What do you do if you really don't believe in divorce if there are children involved and you really want to work it out but your partner doesn't really care and isn't really willing to put in much effort? Is there a way to do it all on your own and if yes how and if not do you have to just give up...

Dear Mirel,
My teenage son is coming home as late as one in the morning most nights. I know for a fact that he is hanging out with kids who are doing drugs. He insists that he would never be stupid enough to use anything himself. I always trusted my children. My husband is telling me not to trust him...

Dear Therapist,

She has seen many therapists, which at first seem to provide a beacon of hope but eventually at some point she feels betrayed and ends the relationship.

Dear Therapist,

I am a woman who has been struggling for some time with the overwhelming feelings that things are just not right in my life. I question whether things will ever get better? I have spent time contemplating what the world would be like without me? I wake up in the morning and I don't want to face the world. I know that there are people in my life who love and care about me but I don't. At times I wish they would just let me

Although some forms of anxiety are helpful because they motivate us to take healthy action (for example, anxiety about illness might lead us to seek treatment), there are other times when feelings of anxiety can lead to a disorder (for example, if the anxiety doesn't make sense in a given situation, or if it is either so much or so intense that it interferes with a person's sense of wellness or quality of life).
