Better...
thanks for the prayers.
They seem to be working.
He went and saw the behavioral specialist that he was referred to.
He said they talked..
and talked..
and talked.
And short of taking medication to control the anxiety.....
he has to learn a few "natural" ways to deal with it.
side note: a HUGE thanks to those that offered support and advice. It meant a lot to Brad to read some of the emails, and posts that people have been kind enough to send me. I think he finally felt like this was something that happened more often than we thought. I was shocked at the number of people that put aside their issues and "confided" that they too were dealing or had dealt with the VERY same things. We truly are blessed to have such a network of family and friends surrounding us. MAHALO!
So we are going to try that approach first.
And we agreed, that if it didn't work....there was nothing wrong with trying the medication.
We are hoping after the move and things get settled....the attacks will subside.
So, please, continue to keep our family in your prayers...
we appreciate it more than you know.
Prayer can be a POWERFUL thing. (no matter your belief)
JMO. (just my opinion)
Hi there! I've been lurking here for a while (found you through my sister, Jess' blog) and as soon as I began reading about your husband's troubles I immediately thought, "anxiety".
ReplyDeleteIt is really quite common, and I actually went to counseling for it when I was younger. They taught me a slew of strategies to overcome it and I hope your husband has the same success. I really wish you guys all the best and even though I don't *know* you [:o)] I wanted to let you know I've been thinking about you and praying for the best. :o)
