I thought I'd made some real progress in my therapy and now I'm almost back to square one. I got out of a bad relationship (my best friend, not my husband) and I felt like I had a new attitude toward life. This woman and I were best friends for 17 years, and it was never very healthy.

About a week ago I started feeling anxious again. I had started trying to let my children take responsibility for their own lives and not worrying about them, but the worry has returned, especially for my older daughter. She doesn't want to grow up and and reminds me so much of me at her age.

I have been so depressed and anxious I'm becoming suicidal again. I've never tried to kill myself, but I felt like it several times. I am having a lumpectomy tomorrow, but the doctors think my lumps are benign. I'm not convinced I want them to be. I'm just not in a good place anymore.

Please give me some suggestions.
