I have suffered with anxiety for 25 years

Mental health

My anxiety is usually around my partner , it started 25 years ago with my son from another marriage , to cut a long story short l was given the ultimatum it’s him or me ? And my son went to live with his father . Unfortunately  everything in my partners life is  either black or white  and l feel constantly critized for not being good enough .

If l try to talk  but it’s  usually turned around that its my fault for not being an affectionate wife . Any issues where there maybe a difference of opinion puts me into anxiety mode then depression but he never sees it as his problem . 

Its nice to share with like minded people , l have been on medication in the past but now trying to help my self with mindfulness and mediation but once in the anxiety mode take a while to recover

Hi,

If your partner isn't prepared to help you get better or even get information or counselling  for him to better understand your condition, I'm sorry to be so blunt, but your are better off without him as he is adding all that extra anxiety/stress to your condition, you don't need this in your daily life and if you want your life back this is the only way to do it if he won't learn to help/understand your condition.
