Your wife will probably know there is something wrong with you that requires you to go see a Dr long before you even thing about it. Men who are not married have a significantly lower life expectancy then men who are married.
Downsizing, Foreclosures and bankruptcy due to medical bills seem to be the norm for every news cast and newspaper headline at the moment. These situations put huge pressure on couples , your marriage can really suffer when finances become difficult to cope with.
You know how much pressure your spouse can handle, in these times of financial difficulty you must be more aware than ever before of these pressures and how they are affecting your partner. A job loss in the family or ongoing medical bills can quickly cause financial difficulties in the best organized family.
This could well be the tipping point when the moments of anxiety will turn into a full blown anxiety or panic attack. As the number of job losses and foreclosures rise so will the number of divorces and separations, but you do not have to become a statistic.
If your partner (or you) start showing signs of avoiding social situations, shaking before seeing anyone, fear of things that never bothered them previously and nausea then there is a good chance that they (or you) have anxiety.
Blaming each other for the situation you are currently in will not help you at all. Blaming each other will just mean that you spend even longer arguing and fighting before you come around and start dealing with the situation as it is rather than how you wish it was.
If you don’t discuss the anxiety that is affecting your spouse then they will not get better and it will carry on building up to a point where it will come out as a full blown anxiety attack that could end up with them in an emergency ward. Ignoring the situation will not make it go away.
When you wonder whether you should just let the anxiety attack take over and force you to pull even further back from your husband or wife, remember all the good and great times that you have had together. Anxiety can be beaten and so can money problems, you just need to decide to fight for the things you hold dear and get professional help.
Understanding anxiety is something every person who has anxiety strives for. Most people with anxiety feel very alone, anxiety can make your life miserable, but it can be beaten.
