Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

 

It would be hard for anyone to be away from their family for an extended time as you have been. I know I would miss my children very much if I was to be away from them for months. Is this a temporary relocation or will your family be joining you in your new home?

 

Have you seen an increase in your anxiety since you relocated because of your job? Are you having panic/anxiety attacks or is it generalized anxiety disorder?

 

Maybe you could use internet phone services, such as Skype to keep in touch with your children. The video calls will enable you to see them and for them to see you in between your visits. As far as your wife, I am sure this is a difficult situation for her as well. You will need to work together to make this situation an opportunity to make your future better.

 

Tell us a little more about what is going on.

I have M.S. for 10 years, and it seems that Cymbalta is going a great job, can I get a coupon, my co pay is very high?
