Just curious, how do your husbands and wives deal with your anxiety and panic? Are they supportive? Do they understand what you are going through?

i'm at my worst state in anxiety right now. Its hard for me to be social and go out without having a panic attack. My husband does all the grocery shopping since i can't do that. He works while i stay at home he's supportive in trying to help me cope. But he does get mad sometimes cause he's antsy and wants to go out to eat or to the movies, like on dates. But its hard for me and that makes me feel bad that we can't do anything together.

Thanks for your replies Cai and CynthiaR20. Sometimes I feel so guilty that I can't do a simple thing like go out to a restaurant. I know my husband supports me but I am sure he doesn't really understand.

i think i would be able to function in a restaurant whithout feeling panicky as long as i know i can leave if i want. Just knowing that makes me feel better. Try to go when their not so crowded. If you can't deal with it anywya. Try a romantic dinner at home. Set the table up with candels and a fancy meal. or set a blanket outside for dinner with candles. As long as he knows you care and are trying your shouldn't feel guilty.

I'm not married but I think my boyfriend is confused. He will ask me to dinner and I will agree. An hour later I'm tossing my clothes on the bed and exclaiming I am not going out in public. He is then disappointed. I proceed to vent to him and he looks depressed and tired and I just keep talking because I don't know what to do with all my energy. :(

Quote my partner:

"Provided that I have my own emotional state in stability, then I deal with it in a practical way. I try to apply logic to a situation that defies logic.

(So I suppose this is a waste of time....."

Also...he refuses to give into it, and allow it to be as destructive as it sets out to be, and this brings it back into balance.

    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...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
