My DH is an Anxiety sufferer. I am trying to help him in every way I know, but what are your tips either what could I say or what lifestyle changes could give me to help him?
His anxiety is driven by his work. He has a huge fear of losing his job (anxiety stems from losing a job 9yrs ago) and therefore the minute something is not right (not necessarily wrong) he panics and cries. He is very good at holding it in when in front of other people, but when he sees me or our son, he breakdown.
He is on Lexapro at the moment but I can't remember the dosage, a low one I think.
We try to eat healthy but with his work commitments we struggle for excercise. We have an appt with a GP on Saturday to see if talking to someone could help.
Anything else? I am trying to stay strong, but its wearing me down too.
