Stress Center Peer Support

Hi hope all is well with everyone! I go to my 2nd therapy session with my new therapist today i have some stuff with her i have to address i feel like she didn't believe me or something last time and i want to address that before we go any further. So that is making me very anxious and nervous. The depression is still with me last night was rough my husband has gotten to the point where he just wants it all to be over with the anxiety/panic/depression so do I but I can't snap my fingers and it be gone.He's gotten where if he don't get what he wants or i won't do something cause of my disorder he gets mad and won't talk to me.I just don't know what to do anymore i'm trying so hard to get through this.He also says i'm not trying or working hard enough that hurts so bad cause that's all i do is work on it so i can be normal for him but i'm getting so tired any advice?..April

Hi April!

You ARE normal! Remember that "normal" looks different for everyone. What's normal for your husband may be different for you, and that's okay. It can be hard for other people to see how hard we're working to overcome anxiety and depression because so much of the process is internal. You are doing everything you can, and eventually it will become more apparent to others. Hang in there!!

Good luck with your therapist today! It can be really scary to address concerns like that with people. You will do fine! I wish you all the best!
