Anxiety overload
Sandy
overwhelming and too difficult to do.
I am finding it hard to concentrate and my husband's depression is
just making me feel worse.
I have multiple issues' to deal with and I want to crawl inside a cave
a stay there.

You need to create a quiet you space. Could be in your mind only,
could be a place outside the home, could be a corner in your home
where you can have a cup of hot chocolate-sit in your chair with a
good book or piece of crochet in quiet, could be anywhere. A quiet
and safe place to take a moment, seperate yourself from the situation
and try to relax you body and mind.

I wonder if having too many things to handle at once isn't what
triggered your depression in the first place. Fear of change then, is
a reaction much like my own and why you're having anxiety attacks as
well as feeling your mate/significant mother is incapable of helping
and why you feel trapped. The first, I understand, but the effect
observed in your partners failings may also be conditional to his
particular threat level. This depression thingy is also like that;
leading us to faulse conclusions based on how we see things from where
we've retreated to, as legands in our own minds. A tad embarrassing at
times, to be sure. I showed up at the beer store in my underware once!
That's what I get for being lost in my own little world at the wrong
time!
I usually choose Photoshop to be confused, frustrated, annoyed and
upset... You're gonna slip up sometimes. Suck it up and search for
reasons to dismiss what, after all, isn't usually as dramatic or
devistating as seen from behind our eyes.
A few suggestions: Learn to say: 'No!' This is so common place and
obvious, you'd hardly think it worth mentioning. Yet one of the most
important things you can do, is to inform all those around you, of
what you're capable of handling. If they insist? Run! LOL! Explain
this as limitations rather than depression if it makes you feel more
comfortable with it. Also remember that your anxiety maay be viewed
biasedly by you who are experiencing in fact, physical reactions
toward your own sence of security and confidence level. The practicle
advantage is that you can fight this attack! If your friends,
relatives, associates and mate are impatient with you, you are in
control of the option to find new ones, and often a positive approach
if you're a good picker...
Hold your wrists under cold running water and take slow deep breaths.
This will relieve some of the tension and slow your heart down to a
shade or two below your panic button. And try not to place so much
value on the comings and goings of people and things. Instead, explore
what beauty you can see all around you! Explore and learn unobtrusive
things that require you to use your memory and motor skills without
risk of invasion of privacy or unconstructive criticisms. You can NOT
accomadate this disease to adapt to you. Therefore, you must adapt to
it! It's either that, or ware a sign that says: ' KICK ME! ' Keep in
mind that nobody 'actually' owns you anyway. We're all only rentals
waiting for new parts...

Are you taking medication for anxiety? If not, perhaps it is worth
considering. Have you discussed the possibility with your doctor?

Please have faith in GOD. Take deep breathing as and when worse
situation is felt by you. You need to take care of your husband
properly to remove your tension. It is better to consult psychiatrist.
Try to identify his problem to ensure effective and fast cure of any
treatment. Such things happens some time which are bound to happen and
the best thing in such situation would be to curb it with courage,
confidence, hope and positiveness. If you have specific enquiry please
