Dear Annie: I'm a 35-year-old mother of five. In January, I was rushed to the hospital because I thought I was having a heart attack. It turned out to be a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs). After leaving the hospital, I did everything the doctor told me. I quit smoking cold turkey after 20 years, and I changed my diet.

Physically, I feel fine, but mentally, I'm losing it. I cry all the time. My husband and children have been wonderful and supportive, but they don't know how I really feel. (I tell them my eyes are puffy from allergies.) Please help me. - New York
