Mental Health

Last year the last of my 3 children moved out into her own house after college. My husband and I are divorced, and now I'm all alone in the house. I started to feel a bit down every year as my kids grew up and moved away, but now I'm totally alone. I've been feeling really down with nothing to do and no one to talk to, and I think I might have depression. I don't want to medicate, just wondering if there's anything I can do to naturally feel better?

I tend to be quite paranoid, so I find when I worry, I'll just keep on imagining the worst scenario. Then it gets worse and worse until I can do nothing at all except panic, and not even my husband can calm me down. Once I start the spiral of panic, I can't seem to stop it. Any thoughts on how to manage anxiety when I am panicked? Suggestions on how to prevent myself from overworrying to begin with?

So my child has struggled with school for a couple years now, with complaints from several teachers that he doesn't pay attention and is goofing off, or staring out the window, doodling, etc. I've suspected for a while that he may have ADHD or ADD. He also tends to be quite energetic, its a wonder I haven't lost him yet, since he's always running around. Should I take him to the doctor? How serious is ADHD/ADD? He's in the fifth grade now and I'm afraid if it doesn't get better he'll be held back becuase his grades are struggling. What should I do? How do you treat it?
