Feeling depressed and anxious

[Afterhours22]

My wife and I are having trouble in our relationship, and I am having major anxiety that things wont work out. Im getting depressed and I dont know how to stop the thoughts. I don't want to lose my marriage.

Well, I am thinking of the downward arrow therapy technique: What would be so bad if your marriage ended and it didn’t work out?

I hope you can resolve the issues, it takes commitment from both partners. couples counseling is a good option in conjunction with separate individual therapy.

Hi After hours,I am sorry that your relationship has hit a rocky patch.

I really want you work on yourself first so that you can then find the emotional strength to work on your relationship with your wife.

As suggested by the previous post, talking therapy has the potential to do this.

There has been a lot of self help articles written about repairing relationships. You will find them online or in books. These are not for everyone but may give you a starting point to turn things around.

All the best 🐈‍⬛
