[isabel001]

Hi i've been hiding my situation of having anxiety disorder to my husband for a weeks now and suddenly one night my panic attack went to 10000% high when i realized that i needed to tell the truth to my husband....

i thought he would be upset and disown me but the oppposite happened...

i feel like we are now closer and we could communicate more...

anyone of u having trouble telling the truth to your significant other?

i would love to hear from you

A main source of my depression is not being able to tell the truth, or tell the complete truth. As a result, I suffer from unnecessary anxiety because I am always scared I will be "exposed" but I don't know what to do to be able to tell the truth. Hiding parts of reality is a way I cope with depression but It is the main source of my pain.

hi... thanks for replying... my name is isabel btw. you know what? i just opened up my deepest darkest secret to my significant other.... i thought he would hate me for it, i thought he would leave me but u know what? he hugged me so tight and whispered in my ears.... it was not your fault, you were just a victim....

i didnt know what was really bothering me not until i woke up one day i couldnt breathe and i felt like i was dying inside... my heart was slowly dying... and it was because i kept on suppressing my past.....

maybe we share the same experience in the past, i would be glad to hear from you... if u want u could email me in my personal email address and i will talk about my past traumatic experience... i hope i could help you

btw, im a sufferer of depression, anxiety disorder and post traumatic stress disorder.

Isabel, I'm glad you were able to open up to your SO and he made you feel better. Sounds like you have gone through a lot. No wonder you have anxiety, who wouldn't? I'm glad you're here. Paislee

I to have had sooooo many issues with telling others about my anxiety and panic attacks that im always lying to them because im afraid on how people will treat me. Im in college right now and i avoid dating because i dont think anyone could understand me, i dont even think i would make it through the date because i fear socializing all together. I dont want to lie to people i just dont know what else to do, so i live two seperate lives.
