Families of those with anxiety disorders

My DH has a General Anxiety Disorder. He has panic attacks most days, and night terrors almost once a week.

It's exhausting to be around, and hard to deal with, no matter how much I love him.

He can become extremely worked up by very little at all, and is prone to overreacting.

Just wanted a little bit of space to talk to others going through the same crap, so we don't feel so isolated.

Sorry you're having a tough time with him. Is he getting any treatment?

Not really, he's been waiting for a referral to a mental health team for ages now.

Though tbh, he's been being treated by CMHT's since he was 7 (and had a stint in a psych unit when he was 13) so not sure treatment will ever make much difference.
