I decided early on that just because he was panicking, it didn't mean that i had to, and just calmly and queitly supported him through his attacks. Only now the depression is taking a toll on our communication and I am feeling frustrated and helpless. Hence trying to do some research on the internet. It helps knowing that other couples have learned to have healthy and positive relationships while dealing with similar issues. Thanks for the boost, and further insite into our current situation.

This is very insightful. Many of us live with non-anxious spouses, and we sometimes forget that our anxiety is not just our own personal hell, but that it can seriously affect our relationships. Again, great post! Great post, Jane! This is very insightful.

I also at times check in and say "are you waking every morning and wondering xyz...." (this can depend on what is the worry of the week for me). Generally I will get the reply of "No". So then I can think about why I am worrying needlessly or constantly. What else is going on, am I a bit stressed/too busy etc?

His favorite way to cope is to say What if it doesn't? My anxiety generally leads down the road to a million what if questions. His answer sometimes annoys me and sometimes helps me to see what I am doing but usually either way brings me back to where I need to be. My husband is my rock when it comes to supporting my anxiety.
