I would hope that your T could explain some things to your husband, but from what you share, he doesn't sound like he even wants to understand. You do sound like he thinks you're a burden to him...but that might be your disorder talking. See if he'll go to the T and find out ways to help you. Goodness, he's in no danger if you have a panic attack!!! Why wouldn't he want to help you and understand?

How old is your son? Can he help you if you have a panic attack? You know, kids can be really rational at times, and a big help if they know what to do.

Yeah that's what I want to do. Go alone if my husband don't want to go. I tried to have him go to doc with me and he don't belive in psychiatrists and therapists because he thinks therapy is just telling you rproblems to a doctor. And i don't care if i'm a burden to him. If he feels that way then he can leave. I am getting to where I don't care what he or anyone thinks about me. I guess that's good? But he's embarrassed by my panic attacks. I think that's b.s. cause he don't have to go through them I do. How does he think having one in public makes me feel. I have told him that but he don't care he thinks I should be able to control them like a switch. He has even accused me of having panic attacks for attention. I wanted to smack him upside the head for that one. My son is 8 he is good at calming me. But he is starting to show signs of a panic disorder too.And my husband even gets short with him cause he has a fear of the dark and a fear of being alone at night. It's just a bunch of ignorance. I tried explaining to him about these things but he don't want to listen. I guess he will listen and try to understand if he don't want me to leave. I've had it ith all this. He has Crohn's and to him thats a "real" med problem. Mine is in my head.
