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...
I'm an anxious person- I worry all the time but sometimes I'll have those super good days that reinstill faith in my recovery.
I'm having a problem right now because my husband is speaking about how he feels so trapped and he hates our house and his job. I told him to go see a professional, that maybe they can help him work out some of these internal struggles and he looks at me as if I'm retarded and don't know what I'm talking about. I'm like- hello! I've been seeing a therapist and I'm on happy pills and I strive everyday to be as positive as I can be. Why wouldn't I know what I'm talking about.
I don't mean to make him sound like a bad guy because he is always very supportive of my and my problems and he always finds a way to help me get through them. I just don't know how to help him through his tough times. When he starts talking like this I get panicky that he's going to leave to pursue the life of his dreams, whatever that may be! How do you help your loved ones?

Maybe you already do all of these things, but I could have made a difference by smiling and being truly happy to see him at the end of a day, putting my cares aside and asking about his day and what he'd like to do, and most of all, doing a little extra around the house like making dinners more, going out side and cutting grass without him asking for help, etc. It would have relieved some of his stress at home and given him a better partner to share his day with. Again, you may already be doing these things.
