Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
hey guys,
I just wanted to know how your loved ones deal with your anxiety.
The thing is, my boyfriend who i have been with for a long time is starting to get really frustrated with me and my anxiety and panic attacks.
I love him to bits and know that it must be hard on him to see me go through this and he has his own problems to deal with but sometimes i cant control when i have a panic attacks - they just happen. He gets really annoyed and tells me to deal with it on my own and sometimes he will just walk away and go out. he gets really embarrassed if i have a panic attack while we are out and i feel awful about it.
I have made some real good improvements like going back to work and going out on my own but he wants 'the old me' back - i am really trying hard to do this but it isnt something that is going to happen over night!
I have tried to talk to him but he says that it isnt all about me and that i need to get on with things and that my anxiety makes him feel stressed out.
I am not sure what else to do. He isnt working at the moment and i try and support him financially and emotionally but i find it tough sometimes.
Is there anything else i can do? How do other peoples family and partners deal with your anxiety?
Any advice would be really appreciated!
Thanks xxx

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
I have been dealing with this since we got married, and I figured he would know what to say or do.
On a good day, talk to him about it. Make a list a pharse that will be helpful to get you throught it ... hope this helps
It's all very well him saying he understands your problem, but the way he behaves and acts suggests otherwise. My partner would never react to me in this way and has always been loving and supportive throughout. If she did I would have had to get out.
Sounds as if he does all the taking and you do all the giving emotionally and financially. Could you be like this to someone you loved?? I know i couldn't.
Sorry to ba a pessimist / realist but i seen so many girls settle for shite blokes who don't truly love them.
Take care babe xx
