Rough day, week, month....

[Sulley66]

Struggling today folks. Trying to deal with intense anxiety and worry about the future as I try to find a job. Feel weak, mentally and physically. Want to share with my wife but afraid she won't understand. She's been with me 25 years and knows about my anxiety but I don't think she fully understands it yet. I want to just break down and cry but I'm afraid and too full of pride and ego and feel I need to be the strong one. We are both worried about the future as I was let go from my job a month ago. Don't want her to think she needs to be the strong one and I'm weak.

Sulley66, Marriage is a two way street, when one falls, the other picks them up. Doesn't make any difference if it's the man or woman. Understanding anxiety is hard for anyone to understand how it mentally and physically is debilitating. You need to release those tears. Holding back just makes the emotions build. Find a quiet place that you can go to let out your stress. You are not weak. Life happens and we have to pick up the pieces and carry on. Just when things seem bleakest, the sun will shine again. Giving you strength, courage and understanding through the forum. We are here for you.
