I feel like I'm having asthma attacks; I've had allergic ones before, but this is without any allergens. Chest is tight, hard to breath out, don't know what to do cause I can't sit still.
They seem to be happening only when my husband is around...

Hate to tell you CT, you allergic to your HUSBAND! No more sex for you. Could cause anaphalaxysis reaction.
Oh well.
Actually, that is weird. My chest gets bad when my back is bad sometimes. Chiropractor helps.
Something going on btw you and hubby? Sorry if I should know.
Sometimes I get anxiety and I don't know why. Sometimes when I think on it awhile I can figger it out. Sometimes.
Take care, gotta run,
Muffled

I have anxiety attacks, too, but believe it or not after 2 years of therapy they have stopped and I can control them. I found that through therapy (talking) that I finally found out "why" I was having them, and then I processed that information fully (this took a long time) and was I able to control them. However, until you can full process "why" I recommednd talking to a pdoc and getting ativan. It saved my life, and I was a big on "no drugs" for me. Well, when you know you are going to have one it's so great to take a pill (like you would for a headache) and the anoxety is gone. because I found it almost impossible to deal with the anxiety once I was having it and there is no rational way to stop it in the beginning. BTW, I don't rely on the ativan. You can stop them! I never thought I would but I did.

CT my anxiety has gotten so bad I can't stand it. I agree with getting anti-anxiety meds, although I take xanax, and now even that doesn't stop the anxiety completely, but I think I'd have a heart attack and die if I had to experience the full attack. I don't think you cause it, but there must be something going on inside that's making you feel anxious - it's just your reaction.fw

It's not that I'm allergic to him, it's that he stresses me out soooo much. And then I get this attack thing going.

Hey FP! I really don't have any side effects from the Effexor withdrawl now, and I've been at the job over 2 yrs. The job is my sanity, actually, so if it's the job, I'm completely screwed! I really think it's my husband...

Honestly, from what I can see, emotionally he's stuck at 9 yrs. old when his father died and his mother told him he was the 'man of the house, now".
He's a great guy, but I'm at my wit's end with his wanting me to be his mother, my feeling like only adult in the house, carrying the burden of all the responsibility for decision making, etc. He's gone all the time with the RR (which I swear is run by satan, himself), then he comes home and is an *ss.

Is there anything to be done for it I wonder?

I'm sorry Crazy T. My first husband was like that too. He never disciplined the kids, mowed the lawn, paid the bills, If I hadn't been young at the time I couldn't have done it I realy couldn't have. And they don't change from what my adult kids say he is the same today as then. Love Jan

If you don't mind sharing, what was it that finally pushed you to divorce?

When I came home from taking my kids on vacation which I paid for and he was pitching a tent in the back yard to see if it still worked that was it. He took his girlfriend camping that weekend. That was enough!!!!Fondly, Phillipa

He came home from being gone 3 days. Episode was less intense, since this time I let go and allowed myself to cry.
How am I supposed to deal with this? I really do love him, but this is REALLY not good. And to think the only thing I've ever asked from him is a 'normal' life... Thank goodness he was called back to work and is gone again this morning.

I was giving my ex- anxiety attacks, I think. But now that we've separated and worked on some of our stuff individually, I think I am beginning to have the opposite effect on him. He's haVing less asthma attacks when he's with me now, than when he isn't. So that's good. But he still has anxiety around a lot of other issues. I hope you and yours can work it out so you're actually good for each other, and it's a long road but worthwhile, I hope he wants to put in the effort, but if not, I hope you do what's best for you. Thinkin' about ya .. (((crazyteresa)))

I have been to a T, worked out a lot of stuff. We have been to 2 marriage counselors; he was the one who got all the homework but did none of it. He just doesn't want to admit anything is wrong. He's just so f-ing perfect.
God forbid we have an adult discussion about anything. He clams up and doesn't say a word. When, on the rare occasion, I get a response from him and he yells at me, I laugh. I'm so excited to get a response, I absolutley die laughing at him. Which of course, isn't very condusive to continuing the conversation...
I'm inching ever so close to living out my fantasy of throwing everything he owns out of our windows. How cathartic would that BE?
SWEET, as Napoleon would say.
