Sadly,spouses do not always get it even though they may be supportive! When my stress level was at an all time high,my baby was 11months old..i had horrible post partum depression/anxiety-before my BP diagnosis-my husband was helping with some physical chores,shopping,etc-but he did not get I was dying inside. Even when I tried explain it-he just thought I could get over it/mind over matter!
So he could mot understand why i didnt want tell everyone-be judged as less than etc
Good luck-i hope you can convince him not to have guest. Explain how makes stress worse for you! Hang in there, i get it, i wound up in pt. I wish i had thpught of taking a nreak-at someonrs home-for even a week.
