I thought I was having a 'good' day until this afternoon I suffered a panic attack! one of many lately. After finally admitting I cant cope I went to the doctors last week and have been put on anti-d's.
My problem is ... my husband just cant seem to understand what I'm going through, how I feel or why, to him I all of a sudden have depression and need tablets (I have been hiding it from him for along time by putting on my 'happy' face). This was the first time he has been there when I've had a panic attack, I think it shocked him and his way of coping was to get angry with me because I couldn't communicate with him and tell him what was happening, (he's not the most comforting man at the best of times, a pat on the shoulder is what I normally get! he's not one for showing emotions).
We did sit down and talk about it after, he keeps asking what he can do, but I can tell he just still doesn't get it and I have no idea, how he can help me as at the moment I cant even help myself.
Where can I go or what can I do to make him understand, he said he wants to help me but he doesn't know where to start (how can someone help if they have no clue as to what's going on? )
We are both new to all of this and need help I don't want to push him away but feel that I am doing just that by making it 'my' problem.
Anyone got any advise or can anyone tell me of any good website etc he can look at?
