Thanks, wisewoman. He's doing much better today. We had a long T session last night and I think he was just having a down day. He's back to feeling as though this might have been a blessing in disguise, and he's still excited about starting a new business. I panicked a bit prematurely, and we talked about that in therapy. In a way, I could not have picked a more appropriate forum for this post. My anxiety about his potential re-entry into depression borders along PTSD, according to my T. I mean, he just got suspended from his job for 3 weeks and it certainly does appear that he's being forced out. Who WOULDN'T be defensive and stressed out about it? So he had a bad night and one bad day -- overall, he's been incredibly cheerful and positive throughout this past week, so perhaps I shouldn't have panicked so quickly.

Thank you ALL for your support and kindness. I'm learning so much about myself. If you had told me three years ago that I have some issues with anxiety, I would not have a clue what you meant. I didn't know how to pinpoint my feelings. Thanks again, everyone. You guys are the best.
