I am so frustrated. I think that my T and I have decided I actually have a phobia regarding my fear and anxiety that I have when it comes to losing my husband...whether it be due to accident, illness, or divorce. She said she at the end of my last appointment that she thought we needed to focus some time on that this week. I want to leave my anxiety here regarding my husband... it is getting to me again.

Cyran0, I love this thread you started. Today I read the whole context you began with and it's brilliant. I have never seen so many replies as I have to yours. You're in the wrong profession, you should have been a therapist, psychiatrist, etc. Although I'm sure you're also very good at your chosen one.

I'm not aware of feeling anxious but I feel disinclined to do anything productive. Ok, well I am afraid of starting to work and finding it a struggle and being unable to proceed; so instead of getting stuck, it seems like I am not going to start? Ok, well anyway, I'm just going to drop off all that paralysation (new word!) I feel over here, and pick it up later if necessary. Thanks for baby sitting Cyran0!

Anxiety is through the roof all because I can't say the right thing at the right time. When am I ever going to figure out how to be normal?

I am dropping off my severe anxiety about my health insurance company.
I am dropping off my severe anxiety about money and its role in my life.
I am dropping off my severe anxiety about my job interview on Monday.
I didn't cause it, I can't cure it and I can't control it.
I can only do the best I can do at the time.

I just want to leave all my sadness here today. My husband left for a while to go stay with a friend, because he can't take the stress anymore.

And this morning his birth mom passed away and tomorrow is the anniversary of his adoptive mom's death. This just all makes for a really sad and emotionally draining weekend!

I just hope things can start to change soon, because I am feeling like I just can't keep this up much longer...It hurts way too much!

Dropping off my major anxiety about medication.
Dropping off my major anxiety that I am going to walk into therapy tomorrow and lay out the five scary things that are on my mind and she is going to look sympathetic but disgusted and ask me to leave.

They are eventually going to realize I avoid going out to eat.

My husband left a week ago last night to go stay at a friends house, but he did go to his 1st therapy session on Wednesday, so I guess I am glad of that, but I miss him so much.

I have seen him a couple times, and we have been texting each other, but it just is so lonely. His birth mom dies last Sunday morning and on Monday was the anniversary of his adopted mom's death. I wanted him to let me comfort him and I was able to give him a long hug at church, but I just feel so lonely...

He is dealing with so much, and I guess I know that the time apart is probably a good thing for us both. We both have things we need to spend time working on for ourselves, but I just miss him so much.

I am trying not to text him, and leave the 1st contact to him, unless I have something I really have to find out from him (regarding kids or finances, etc.)

But it is so out of character for me and I am having a very hard time not starting the text conversations, so I need to leave the anxiety I feel over this here and let him have his space.

I really hope that his therapy will help him and he can feel able to come home before to long.... Meanwhile I am continuing my sessions and I had an increase in medication this week to help my anxiety, so now to see if I can relax a little more and feel even more confident in my learning process.

I also am feeling a great deal of anxiety, because a friend I made through here is not answering me and I have haven't seen her post anything in almost 2 weeks and I am getting really concerned about her... I really hope she is OK, but I have no other way to check on her....

My life is falling apart and my husband is being an *****, to it's fullest. I am so angry with him (I actually think I hate him today) and I am sick of everything he is doing to me and to us...

BUT....I am forever going to hope that he will find himself again one day soon and he will be the person he was during our 1st 20 years together and not the one he has been for the past 2. I almost think I wish it were drugs or something, that wuld explain this person I DON'T KNOW NOW.

I just want him back again and I want this nightmare to end.

So much anxiety. I can't even eat because my jaw was so tightly clenched and now the muscles are too sore.

12 hours until I can see my therapist. No matter how busy I keep myself I can't stop being anxious about him.

I get nervous when people criticize my writing. I'll never be as good as I want to be.
