How can I explain my husband about my anxiety disorders?

Question

I have been suffering from anxiety disorders for years. I recently started working with a mental health professional. Therapy seem to work well. But my husband, constantly keeps judging and hurting me. I am not able to explain him my situation. We both are very well educated to understand things. I work very hard both at home and at work to provide for the family. How can I explain him, my struggle or suffering, when he is just not willing to listen and keeps saying, I complain all these problems to avoid doing work or I simply like to be unhappy. Its just miserable. Any suggestions?

Hello,

I am so sorry you are experiencing this situation - not only anxiety disorder, but also a husband that cannot understand.

I suffered for years with extreme anxiety attacks and their devastating side effects as I struggled to take care of my family also.

I never knew how stress could cause so much dysfunction in the human body. I think the best way I can help you is just to let you know I used to be in your shoes, and I am no no longer in those "anxiety attack" shoes.  My long days of anxiety attacks affecting my life are over.

To learn how I overcame my anxiety attacks go to http://www.healthbanquet.com/anxiety-hop...

I would highly recommend you get the book by Dr. Claire Weekes called Hope and Help For Your Nerves.  That excellent book will tremendously help you and it will help your husband understand what you are going through.

Dr. Weekes has helped MILLIONS with her books and audio programs to overcome their anxiety attacks and get back to their real selves again.

Dr. Claire Weekes (1903-1990), Hope and Help For Your Nerves and Peace From Nervous Suffering, is a best selling author and is widely acclaimed for her revolutionary approach for treating anxiety, panic, and phobic disorders.

She has achieved distinction as the first woman Doctor of Science at the University of Sydney, and was recognized by Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to medicine. Truly an amazing woman.

She must have personally experienced anxiety herself, based on her explanations of what one goes through while experiencing panic and anxiety attacks.

Dr. Claire Weekes is a master at reassuring her readers that there is nothing wrong with them.

Her step by step, self help methods, teach one to regain control over their state of mind. She will simply teach you how to cope with feelings of fear and dread. Also, unlike any other, she will help you thoroughly understand the many physical symptoms which can be caused from overtaxed nerves.

Yes, she simply explains how your FEAR of the symptoms from your overly tired nerves, feeds this cycle of anxiety. She will help you break this cycle through her easy to follow approach. I highly recommend this book - Hope And Help For Your Nerves. It is only a few dollars.

Once again, I am now completely anxiety free, with no medication needed. I am happy and full of energy again. It is hard to believe the nightmare that I lived daily for years is no longer part of my life. It is hard to believe I was ever in that kind of unsettling situation. I am back to the real me again.

I thank God every day for breaking free of the shackles of anxiety. Claire Weekes's book should also help you recover from anxiety, as it has helped the MILLIONS before you recover from their anxiety also.

God bless you on your healing journey.  Here is a prayer that helped me a lot http://www.healthbanquet.com/prayer-anxi...

For some reason, a lot of  men don't like to hear about those things.  And it's really miserable for women who would like to talk with them.  Actually, if you tried to do some physical stuff, it might help your anxieties.  Such as running or bicycling, or even a treadmill.  Exercise releases endorphins which make you feel better.  You should try it.

Just harden up and stop being such a useless wimp

Answer 4

Take him to therapy and have the counselor explain your circumstance to him. Other than that i dont think he will take your anxiety disorder serious. If he wont go he does'nt care about you very much.
