SAD.

[TLC simple]

This morning I woke up with severe sinus congestion which threw me into an anxiety attack. My husband is not very good with dealing with me when I have an attack.

I’ve never felt so alone he just tells me to get out of it, you got this, but what I really needed was for him to stay and help me, sad.

I’ve been through the death of my father, the death of my mother, having a child taken care of everybody and I’ve never asked for help. Today I felt like I needed help and there was no help... I felt alone and sad.

Going to ENT wish me luck!

Hey there - so sorry. My husband and I have been through lots of similar days and I know it hurts. I really think it's impossible for someone who has never experienced severe anxiety to understand it or know how to handle it. My husband (who I love and adore, by the way), was HORRIBLE when we first got married. He believed in me as a capable person, so he just didn't get why I couldn't get up and get moving some days. My parents also tried the "tough love" thing when I was younger - ugh. I don't know how many times I heard, "Well, THAT'S not going to help anything" when I would cry. I can say this- it comes from a place of love, however misdirected they might be. Your husband truly wants you to be ok - he' trying. He's just missing the mark.

I used to have a good checklist for partners of folks of panic attacks - I will see if I can dig that up for you. My husband had to kind of re-train himself to not react the way he normally would, and to do and say different things. We certainly haven't mastered it yet, but I can tell he tries and that he's doing his best to understand.

Yes, I know... it truly is difficult for him as well. I adore and love my husband too! Thank you!

Sinusitis. I am now on 10 days of antibiotics! One day down still not feeling relief, yes... I want a miracle!

 

[guitarman65]

TLC, if its like mine was, relief may come all at once, and i mean literally all at once! 3rd day if i recall. So if your glass is half full...you're halfway through it!
Keep up the good fight!

Oh goodness... that would be a dream come true! What antibiotics did you take?

 

[guitarman65]

Zpac, it was a 5 day antibiotic treatment...kicked it in 2 to 3 days!

I’m on amox-clav hope it works just as fast. Today is better then yesterday so that’s a positive! Thank you for your help!

That's great TLC. I was thinking about your blood pressure testing fear. Perhaps next time you could just ask to not be given the results other than "Looks good" instead of the actual reading.

Great idea!
