Hello my name is Kim. I know what you are talking about. I have anxiety and panic attacks, my husband in the beginning didn’t know what I was going through so many years he would be like you fine 5 minutes ago what’s your problem. He had no idea and anyone who has not gone through this cannot even begin to understand. Then one day my husband had major surgery, he was cut from his chest down to both legs, Arorta bypass, that is when he started with the anxiety and panic attacks. He turned to me and apologized and asked how do I do it, get through the anxiety and panic attacks. I said 10 yrs of counseling and my stubbornness. If you have read any of my replies for depression and anxiety I have learned with medication and my go to words or sayings to myself that I am stronger than this. It’s just my mind trying to bully me and I just won’t let it. I am a not giving up, I Love Life, my husband and children. This is a good place to always reach out to anyone or someone specific. Hang in there and never let your mind Bully you😊🥰

Thank you Kim. In 45 years of marriage my husband has not gone to a Doctor, and has little understanding or empathy for my problems. I have had breast cancer with bilateral mastectomies, a hysterectomy, and surgery for kidney stones 5-6 times. He does come for the procedures, but then he is absent. I don't wish him ill health, but it sounds like that is what it took for you to get him to understand where you were coming from with your anxiety and depression. People do not seem to understand that these are not choices we make, and although medication helps, it is for sure not a cure-all. Good luck to you and your husband. I appreciate your advice.
