isolation

Hi! my name is Audrey and i'm new to this but I've struggled with anxiety on and off since I was a teenager. for the last 2 months I have been spiraling deeper into anxiety and small bouts of depression. I was just wondering if anyone else on here ever feels that they can't stand being in their own home or with their spouse/significant other while this is going on? lately I want to stay at my mom's house with my kids and not go home. when i'm at my mom's I feel as though she will take care of me and I feel comfort. do you think this is normal? I love my husband so much but he doesn't understand what i'm going through and what I need. I feel terrible withdrawing from him because it hurts him but I just want to work through this in the comfort of my childhood home. ugh.

It's completely normal when I was in my worst moments of Anxiety all I wanted was my Mum. You need to do what is going to get you through this - Just tell your husband what's going in and that your working on it and that you love him and it has nothing to do with him. Take care :)
