Anxiety Panic Attacks

We all know that anxiety is a condition we cause. It only lingers when we don’t understand it or know how to reverse it. In general, it helps one cope.

What Could Have Been

Sometimes, the decision to not have children is more difficult than having them.

In 1970 New York State partially decriminalized abortion, making it possible for

a woman to terminate a pregnancy of up to twenty-four weeks duration. Hospitals and gynecologists geared up for a new kind of patient.

In 1970 I was not yet a woman with regrets. Touched but not dented. I lived with my college sweetheart. I had a piece of paper that told me I was a bachelor of fine arts. It implied a future in which I created works of great beauty and originality. My sweetheart and I shared the rent on a tiny apartment in the East Village, big enough for a terrier, not two adults.

What Really Goes Through a Man's Mind When You Tell Him Your Pregnant

One husband reveals his inner thoughts--and fears--when he learns his life is changing.

“Hey!”

“Hey, back.”
