any advice?
| Thu, 12-01-2005 - 2:10pm |
Hi there,
I know I have said it all before, and you all have probably said it to me, too. I am having such incredible anxiety lately, and the advice sticks for two minutes and then something else triggers it. I feel so heavy chested, and I am so anxious about my friends. I am so paranoid lately, too. It seems like everyone I've introduced has paired off and I am the one standing by myself. I do make an effort, but it would be nice to have it made at me.
I don't like discussing it with my husband, so I pretty much bottle it all in. I talk to my friends occasionally, but I think it just drives them away the more I talk about my fears to them. I feel so alone.
Thanks for reading, and any kind words would help. THANKS!!!

Jolie,
I know that you have such a tough time with this issue. I really don't have any good advice for you...
I was wondering if you have a therapist? I know that mine seems to be so great with putting things into perspective for me, things that I would never see myself. Maybe you could benafit from someone who could let you vent and show you a new perspect on things.
Have you tried really explaining anxiety to your dh? So he knows that what you are going through, maybe him going to see a therapist with you...?
Hope you are feeling better...
HI there,
I was seeing a therapist, but since my DH started his own business, we are unable to afford it. Until the business gets up and running, it's just too much. I feel like it is so important and he doesn't. He would tell me that my therapist was not helping me. He really doesn't believe in therapy at all. He did come with me once, and he went in with his own ideas, so he pretty much wasn't budging on anything. He wasn't open minded. My insurance does cover it, but it is a $1000 deductable. (yikes!) Since my husband left his corporate job to start his own business, our "good" insurance plan changed to something dreadful. You are right, it definatly helped to have someone to vent to. My therapist always put it into perspective for me. It doesn't help that my boys have been sick for a week now, and I haven't left the house since last Satuday. UGGGG. Thank you for listening.
