I've been posting on here for about a week about my anxiety issues.
In brief, I was diagnosed with GAD 10 years ago (at 18) and since my first major episode at that point have done quite well with it. Lately it's sprung up again, largely due to a troublesome neighbour (see previous posts) who's moving out on August 31. But I'm also getting married September 5, my soon-to-be wife is having surgery on September 14.
She's been sick with a rare (but not terminal) disease for a few years.
This last week, while I've been staying at my parents house, she's been having a hard time coping with everything. She's taking care of our dogs and cats, plus trying to take care of herself without much help from me, while I effectively hide.
Can anyone offer suggestions, support or tips that I can use or she can use in coping with this?
Thanks.
