I'm sorry that you're both going through such hard times right now. It is great that you are taking some medication, to help you work through the problems. Still, that's only part of the solution. One on one counseling is a big part of the solution.

Even if your husband wasn't stressed to the gourd, talking with him probably wouldn't give you what you need. You need a therapist. Maybe picking up the phone, and calling one of those phone centers on your really stressful times is an option to get you through.

Different people do have different ways of working through their emotions. Have you tried various exercises to help battle the anxiety that you're struggling with? Exercise is my personal favorite to let that extra energy out in a healthy way. Like: 6 mile power walks on nature trails ~ the nature trail re-boots a better sense of identity for me. Six miles because it gives me a sense of accomplishment, and it takes some time to work through my emotions & then finally begin to enjoy the nature surrounding me.

Hope that helps you. Gentle hugs sent out to you.
