Hi. I don't really know where to start but I feeling very anxious and down.

Me and OH have had our fair share of problems and he used to make me feel very belittled, talk over me, not let me have my say etc etc. It used to make me feel really bad and now im not very confident and am very anxious if something happens and feel he will always be angry at me. He has changed over the last few months as I told him how I was feeling but I still cant get rid of those anxious feeling I have when he's around incase I do something wrong.He will listen more to me and doesn't have a go as much and lets things go alot more than he used to now. I feel very anxious even down to thinking he will be fed up if I haven't sent a text answering a question or left a light on etc.

I don't know how to get rid of these feelings, thinking I need some anti d to get rid of my anxiety problems and maybe some cognitive theropy?

Im sorry if this is a bit up in the air!! Thanks

It sounds like you and your DH are doing well working through this, and you have already identified some of the main causes of your anxiety. Well done for that.
A bit of therapy can help, as it gives you chance to talk to someone not directly involved in your situation. You could do it alone or attend couples therapy. Why not discuss options with your GP, who could refer you. It is also a lot cheaper than privately, I believe. Good luck, and keep up the good work. You seem to achieved a lot so far. x

I have similar feelings to you my husband is obssesed with not wasting money - which is fair enough but he will switch a light off when I've only left the room for a few minutes it drives me crazy. I think stuff like that wears you down over time and yes it does make me feel anxoius. I think it is great that you have got him to recognize how he is treating you and make him change behaviour. I bet therapy would be a better first option because personally I wouldn't fancy taking anti d. good luck
