Is there a way a can give her Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? What things can I do to help her get rid of her anxiety?
Listen here Gabe, you little sh*t, you can’t miraculously treat anxiety… one doctor “treatment” would have done a damn thing!

urshorr asked:


If that person relied on you for moral support, did you ever feel tired?

And were you ever to able to keep helping them, while avoiding stress on you.

Thank you for taking the time to read my question.

Could you cry during a panic or anxiety attack?

[Mary] asked:


I’m 16 and I was diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and depression (what a great mix right?) (not only that but it cause headaches everyday) and anyway I haven’t done much research but when I have these ‘attacks’ I normally start breathing real hard to the point where I hyperventilate, I get dizzy, and sick and I just freak out so much that I cry. Is it normal to cry if someone has an attack? Thanks.
Everyone is so nice here on Mental Issues. LoL.
Thanks!

My wife has a General Anxiety Disorder. How can I get her to tell the truth?

November 21st, 2009

jimkirktrek asked:


I love my wife, but because of her anxiety disorder, she lies and keeps things from me due to irrational fears. She asks me not to take it personally, but we are married. We are supposed to be open and honest with each other. I need to be able to trust her and I just can’t find a way to solve this problem. We’ve tried therapists and medication for years, but she lied to them too. We have two wonderful children and I fear that they will pick up on her anxious response of lying and keeping things hidden. What makes this especially difficult, is that I am very open and honest and the frustration I have with being unable to help her is tremendous. I’m really reaching out to all of you out there. Please give me some thoughtful and caring responses. No one can know how hard it has been living like this……
