My husband and I have been married for a few months and everything is great except for one problem. He suffers anxiety.

It started a few years ago when we started dating. He had an allergic reaction and I had to take him to the Emergency Room. Ever since then he does not want to be alone. He's always afraid something horrible is wrong with him and wants me with him almost every second of the day (except when he's at work.). I had to turn down a promotion at my job because I wasn't going to be home enough for him.

Lately it's gotten worse. He recently had an endoscopy, he has barrett's esophagus, and everything came back wonderful. In fact, he doesn't have to have another one for 3 years! However, they didn't numb his throat and he's been feeling some chest pain, which they told him he would for a while. But he's very paranoid that something has gone wrong. Sometimes he believes they ripped something inside. We haven't had a good night's sleep in days because he will keep waking up in the middle of the night shaking and sweating, thinking something is wrong. I offer to call the doctor's 24 hour number so we can ask him questions but he won't let me. He absolutely refuses to let me call them. He will not tell me why. He also will not see a doctor to talk about his anxieties.

Even the smallest stomach ache is life threatening to him. I'm doing all I can to be supportive and patient with him and help him all I can but it's wearing me out tremendously. I will talk to him to get his mind off of it, I will try to get him out of the apartment, I will reassure him that everything is fine... I'm all out of ideas to help him I'm started to feel depressed all the time. Is there anything else I can do?
