Making you feel ashamed of your illness, making you feel less worthy of medical attention, telling you that you can't do anything right, not being emotionally supportive is emotional abuse. It is abuse.
I know you mentioned the panic attacks started when you were younger. Growing up were you made to feel like you weren't good enough? Perhaps this is something to talk to your T about?
It sounds like you are living in a state of intense anxiety. That's a horrible way to feel. I hope you are able to find some peace.

Thanks beyond blue
I can see that he may be emotionaly abusive. Even if he don't mean to do it he does it. The reason for my panic attacks when i was little was I was physically abused. And my house caught on fire and I was trapped under my bed. Those two things caused the anxiety back then. But from the time I was 13 till I was 21 I was fine. Then my mom got sick and died. While she was in the Hospice, I would stay there constantly and everytime I cam ehome for some clothes or shower whatever, my husband would accuse me of cheating on him. He even called me the wh word. So mabye that's where all this anxiety now is coming from. i mean i'm no princess I've mabe mistakes but i have changed my ways he's the same ole him.
