Thank you for your response and words of support. I am trying but it is hard. I am hoping I can encourage myself to work things out by earning a better understanding about him and a better understanding on how to relate to him better. How are you doing? Are you on medication or doing therapy? How are those things working out for you?

Hi Sarah, First of all, welcome to the group!:) I have suffered with PD for several years with a couple years panic free in between and I know firsthand how crippling this disorder can be to marriages and families. I feel that first of all you are to be congratulated that even though you have experienced a very difficult time in your marriage, you are still out there searching and trying to do the right thing...(whatever that may be). I don't think any of us can say that we can blame all of our problems, 100%, on our Panic Disorders.....there are obviously varying shades of degrees to how much the disorder impacts our lives but it can be extremely debilitating and can literally interfere with every aspect of daily living, and yes, how we think, how we express ourselves, how we interact with loved ones....and the list goes on and on. I don't have any answers for you but I do feel that you are on the right track by continuing to search for information and support and not completely closing the door....as long as it remains open, even a little, there is hope! I wish all the best for you and your family. Hang in there! kathy :)

Sarah, Thanks for sharing your story with us. I am sorry you are having a difficult time. But I can also see you a very strong individual. This site may be of assistance to your husband and yourself. Please continue to share your thoughts with us. There are many people within this support group that share the same questions and concerns as you. We are all a group of individuals who support each other. If you look to the left of the screen under "TOOLS" you will find many supportive tests. These tests are not diagnostic tools and are not a replacement or substitute for a physician's advice. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to the doctor. We also have developed a Panic Program. This program is 12-weeks and involves the tools mentioned above. Each session is based on the previous session, so we strongly advise to work slowly through the program and not jump ahead. These tests may or may not be for you but they are "free". If you have any question or concerns with our €œTOOLS€, you can contact us at support@paniccenter.net. please remember that this is something your spouse must come to terms with and you trying to seek help for him is very admirable. You can work through this together. I guarantee that you will receive lots of support and advice from our online support group. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. Keep us posted, Josie

Hello, I am new to this group. I dont' think I have panic disorder, but I do believe I've developed quite a bit of anxiety over the past few years. My husband is actually the one who has been diagnosed with panic disorder. He is on meds, but isn't receiving psychotherapy at this time. We are separated right now due to his problems with anger, dishonesty, and finances. We married young before we got to know eachother and we have a daughter together. He attributes a lot of his problems to his panic disorder, making it seem like a lot of his actions are beyond his control. His panic attacks often manifest themselves as anger attacks with verbal abuse. I am not sure what to believe as I do not experience the kind of panic he does. I am looking out for my daughter and myself as a lot of his actions have been hurtful and irresponsible; However, I am feeling bad for blaming him, if his problems all stem from panic/chemical imbalance. If anyone could offer any advice or insight I would appreciate it. I don't have a lot of experience with this, however, I do have a lot of anxiety that runs in my family. I love this man, but living with him has not been easy. I often have the desire to end things and start over anew. Can panic disorder cause someone to do all the following: make bad decisions, be irrational, be constantly dishonest, and not make sense at times (be contradictory)? When we were together and even now that we are separated, I feel more like a Mother to him than a wife. Anyway, I've talked too much already. Thanks for reading.
