It is ok to take a step back when dealing with this stuff .... I do that, you can't force yourself to keep leaping, you can get overwhelmed that way, little steps at a time. If you take a step back, that's all good as long as you don't keep taking those steps backwards.

As for your hubby not understanding, it's hard for anyone to undstand anxiety, depression and ptsd. How can someone understand if they themselves have never gone through it.

I deal with anxiety, depression and ptsd as well, and my boyfriend doesn't really understand .... Why don't you try to explain it to him? Let him get a better understanding why certain things happen?

I have done that, and my bf is getting a better understanding of it, maybe not to the extent that I want him too.
