Living with Anxiety Disorder in Senior Years

Hello Friends, I'm a 65 year old Female who has suffered from Generalized Anxiety Disorder for over 10 years, I have 5 adult children, 22 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren, and a 3rd great grandchild due in March. My anxiety disorder began after my husbands job sold out to another company and that new company let all the original employees go in 2008. it hit us pretty hard in 2008, we lost our home and vehicle, and ended up moving in with our youngest daughter for a year before moving into subsidized housing. Along with his job being dissolved, my husband list 17 years worth of retirement. so we were entering into our senior years with nothing but a usex pickup truck and the clothes on our back. I began having panic attacks. They were worse when I was out in public, or in large family gatherings. At this time, we both began to have health issues. and to make a long story a little shorter, my husband has had 2 heart surgeries, and his health continues to deteriorate. we are both disabled now, and live on a very small fixed income. This is where most of our health issues come from. Thank you for reading my story, I apologize for it being so long, but it is rather complicated.
