I'm not sure if this would be the appropriate place for me, but I'd enjoy joining in your discussions.

I don't currently suffer from extreme anxiety - have been treated for anxiety in the past (Was on a combination of Celexa, Atarax and Trazadone for about 1 yr), but am pretty much okay now.

My husband, though, suffers from social anxiety, generalized anxiety and extreme panic attacks. He's been in treatment since shortly after we started dating, at which point he was nearly agoraphobic.

Anyway, since I'm pretty involved with his care (it's necessary), I wondered if this was an appropriate place for spouses?

Thanks for the welcome! I don't necessarily always understand, but I definitely try. :) Since I've had some anxiety problems, I guess it's easier for me to understand that these issues don't define who he is.

BeRock,

Welcome aboard! My husband has anxiety too............however he has not accepted this.  I have a 31 year history of anxiety and depression so I know way to much about anxiety and I try to help him.

Many people with anxiety disorders benefit from joining a self-help or support group and sharing their problems and achievements with others. Coming here and sharing your concerns as well as asking for advice is admirable and we are here to support you as the spouse of a person with anxiety.

Stick with us,

Kitt

Larry, you're so kind and I'm so embarrassed after my dr appointment today!

Don't be embarrassed....there is only shame in not getting the help that you need! Good job on going in and getting your answers.:)
