This is something I've been looking for. My husband suffers from depression, and as he is going thru (just starting) the program he is realizing hes been having alot of anxiety that he wasn't aware off.

This is extremely hard not only for the one experiencing it, but also for the families involved. Emotional and other abuses are common. We need help in coping and tools to work with to help our loved ones so we won't continually get hurt, etc.

Anyone else relate to what I am saying? If there is such a forum on here that I haven't found, please show me where it is!

Thanks!

Sweet

I don't think my husband is as depressed as he is filled with anxiety and fear. That does make me have more anxiety too. Also a cause of anxiety is going on chat and finding some idiot swearing and causing problems. they say just ignore him but it's hard. I ended up telling him he was a pain in the a** which just put me on his level. Just what I wanted. Sometimes I like chat so I want to go on and then I find all this crap and I think, why does this always happen to me? any advice?

Barb,
sometimes I think we are just suckers for punishment! I wish I had the answers for you for this, even for myself!

We just gotta keep on keepin'on!

Blessings,
Sweet

tHANKS sweet. Well at this moment my husband is doing the first lesson in his wkbk. He will be cramming this program since he's missing work to do it and Drs.appts.,walking, nutrion,etc. to regain his health. Pray for both of us through this, please.

sweet and barb,
both of you are there for your loved ones.. my wife had anxiety when i met her and i had it as well...as we went through it together we helped each other..and was there for support.. don't let others say something nasty and make you mad or make you want to leave...the devil is in alot of places and puts others as a stepping stone so when you take a step there is no support...trust in the LORD...and he will see you through.. take care and good luck in the program...and see what comes from it.. you will be surprised like i was.. and then you will see results...you know you are in our thoughts and prayers always....GOD BLESS...
don
if he brings you to it.. he will bring you through it..

you say trust God but do you think that there is something in our sprits that causes anxiety. Have i done my fellow brothers and sisters harm and now paying for my actions

I have had three major episodes with anxiety/depression/panic. Two of these came after the births of my two children. I am not saying you are wrong unless you are saying that that is the only source of anxiety (doing something wrong). I think this disorder comes from various sources, ( physical problems, chemical embalances, hormonal embalances, constant stress, etc.).

Love and prayers,
