Hi Gina, How are you doing? How is everything? I hope all is well. Remember that your husband loves you very much...My husband does not understand what I am going through and does not want to see a counsellor, read or understand my medications, but I know that he loves me and isn't going anywhere...although sometimes I think I am driving him away -- but he will stay...it is difficult as there will be good days and bad days...We all have those, but hang in there...we are here for you:-) A dear friend of mine told me that our husbands cannot understand because only we know what is going on...no matter how much we try to explain it to them I am not sure they will understand. We are here for you:-) I apologize if I am generalizing, but that is how I feel about my husband...he may never understand 'this' but I have just asked him to accept me for me -- Gina, your husband loves you... You take care and let us know how you are doing. Best, B

Gina, I totally understand what its like having a husband who doesnt understand. I love my husband very much and I know that he loves me , but he just doesn't get it. He thinks this whole thing is just something thats all in my head and I should be able to just calm down and tell myself to stop having panic and anxiety, or go to another doctor and find the "good meds that cure this thing". (By the way, I've been to MANY different doctors over the past 14 years.) I have tried to get him to go to therapy and counseling with me too and he wouldn't go either. I sometimes start thinking that he will finally get tired of putting up with me and leave - which triggers another panic attack lol. I try not to worry about it too much though. If they really love us they will hang in there with us. If not - we dont need 'em anyway. LOL Good Luck To You, Samantha

I'm glad the talk wasn't the nightmare you were expecting! My husband always tells me that he understands and that it's ok, but he gets frustrated with me, too. I try to remember that he can't truly understand because he doesn't deal with it, but sometimes I wish he would really understand the way I need him to. Sometimes I look at him and think, I wonder when he's going to say he's had enough and leave - like it's just a matter of time. I don't know that he really would, but there's always that thought in the back of my head that it will happen. Maybe it's because my self defeating side tells me that I wouldn't want to live with me if I was him. So, now I'm rambling! Anyways.... I'm glad he didn't walk out like you were thinking! I know it's hard, but, I guess all we can do is keep trying. Hang in there and remember, you are stronger than you feel - I promise!

Hey Gina! I've been worried about you! What happened with the talk your husband wanted to have with you that you had posted about the other day? You didn't post back about how it went so I'm hoping that it went ok for you! Did everything work out?
