Love and support

3 years ago anxiety hit me out of no where change my life for the worse. My wife has not been understanding and has shut down and all i feel like is i need support emotionally in this journey and not getting it. Anyone relate?

IMHO can you ask her to do counseling with you?

I found because I’m so emotionally open to my husband that his anxiety messes up my mind and emotions. It took me awhile to understand that it was effecting me and I was pulling away or once even yelled at him. I crushed him. I had to have my own coping techniques to help my husband through his. I went to the marriage counselor alone at first. Now I can keep my brain clear while he has learned to talk and name his anxiety. We talk to the same therapist just not together. I don’t go very often and at times I go with him.

We have to learn to keep our clarity but show love while our SO is troubled. It’s hard. If she’ll work on it please give her time.

It could be you’re sparking some anxiety in her or touching on some poor self-esteem issues she has.

Best of luck to you. Praying for peace in your family.
