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...
Hello everyone,
To my friends that I have not posted to in awhile, I have news to share.
Remember I said my husband has a bad heart and he was going to be evaluated for heart transplant? Well, he was and the team decided he needs a transplant. But, guess what??? He can't have one because he has 100% antibodies in his blood that he picked up from a previous blood transfusion. That means any heart they put in him will be killed off by the antibodies.
We go Thursday to see what recommendations the surgeon has.
Meanwhile, my husband is still working as much as he can for insurance reasons, and just went on nights. I am not used to being alone at night, and I am having a lot of anxiety issues about that and everything.
I changed thereapists to a Christian counselor who specialized in cognitive behavior therapy.
Also, unlike the other one, she doesn't push tranquilizers.
I am learning to trust God and deal with whatever.
I hate the way I feel lately. I go from being tired and unmotivated to crying and feeling irritable.
The counselor tells me I have good reason to feel that way because look what's happening in my life.
Does anyone else change moods like this? Or has anyone else seen a Christian counselor?
I asked the counselor if she is going to lock me up for going crazy and she laughs.
She has me reading Joyce Meyers "Battlefield of The Mind", and it seems interesting.
I know it probably takes time, but I am going to work really hard to deal with this anxiety.
I miss the forum,and I'll keep in touch.
Love,
Jazzmynn

Have you and him just sat down one-on-one and let your feelings show about the whole thing? It may help to see you are not the only one feeling scared and upset right now.
You are doing the right thing by seeing a counselor though...you can't be strong for him unless you can be strong for you, so kudos for taking that initiative. You are a very strong and brave woman:)
