Hi Chefguy. My hubby is very supportive and he never pressures me to do anything that I don't think I can handle. He's also very good at reassuring me. But I still have the anxiety issues......And I feel guilty that my anxiety has such a hold over me, in spite of the support. I'm sure my hubby does feel frustrated with my anxiety sometimes too (he'd have to be a saint not to!!). And I'm also extremely frustrated with myself. I wasn't this bad when we got married. I've always had anxiety issues, but they didn't hold me back the way they do now. That's kind of crept up on me in more recent years.

I'm really lucky to be married to someone so supportive. But I wish I didn't need that kind of support. I wish I was stronger in myself.
