Dearest Friend,
First off you are NOT going nuts. I understand that feeling because I have experienced it first hand. I have suffered from anxiety since I was 18 and I didn't understand myself until I was age 51. Now I am 52. I can share my story if you are interested. Anxiety attacks and panic attacks are VERY miserable and understanding how our body reacts to triggers is crucial. Acceptence and using recommended techniques has been important to me. Just remind your husband everyone has anxiety but at varying degrees. It is not easy and the journey takes time. I am still in training. I am just a message away. If I can be more help let me know.
TAKE GOOD CARE!
PEACE

What a great Reply Gentle 51 .. I can only agree with that.. and I have only had it for a year.. and my Husband did also not understand for a long time.. I had to grin at your comment that you feel like that your going nuts.. I went to the doctor making the same statement.. I told her to put me in a padded room.. I can actually laugh about that now.. because I have come to a point of understanding and working with my Anxiety instead of against it.. I will try to find some of the old posts in here .. that helped me.. when I first came to DS and this was the first Group that I joined.. hang in there ... you can learn to live with it and happily live with it.. Love and Hugs Simone -
