help

[Jo72266]

Well , my husband and I are having financial trouble and have been for awhile.  I told him I am not good with the bills and need help however he works so much, help is not always to be had.  Lately it has gotten worse and I have been having anxciety problems and not sleeping and very emotional.  We both have great jobs , I work 40 plus hours a week and he much more.  We have 3 boys all in sports and alot going on.   Sometimes I feel like I am having a nervous break down.  I have tried to tell him how I feel but he tells me I am being dramatic about this.   Its hard to concentrate at work and get through the day.   What do you suggest?

My first suggestion would be to make an appointment with your doctor/or psychiatrist. You are uder alot of stress and changes need to be made. That is not a;ways easy. Find a good counselor. Even the support here i find is very helpful!

You are experiencing many ups and downs, and there is medication to help that if you choose. sounds like you worry worry worry. This will throw your sleep off and hence bring on bad habits such as taking care of you, which can lead to not eating well, and depression.

Take it a step at a time and talk with a Doctor. You will be fine. Keep us posted.

You need to go to a therapist. It will help you deal with the stress and the anxiety. Maybe if your husband sees that you are looking for help otside the house he'll understand that you are talking seriously about your anxiety. My life seems pretty much like yours and the anxiety has turned everything upside down but my husband supports me and that has make a big difference. You need to understand your anxiety so you can start your road to recovery. Is scary but you can do it. Seek help, that's the first step.
