Member-only story
It’s no secret that I suffer from Anxiety Disorder but there are many times no matter how tough it may become, I have to pull it together so I can be present for someone that needs me. This is one of those times.
Many of us who suffer are able to find divine strength when someone we care about needs us, this story is a reminder, it’s also a reminder that we need to stay vigilant when someone we love has an illness. Many times things can become very complicated.
When I was raising my children my focus was on them and I believe my anxiety took a backseat to their needs. Now my husband needs me and I will give him 110%. He’s been my rock for so long, providing for our family, fixing most issues that have arose with our home over the years (which saved us a lot of money), he became educated about my illness and has shown genuine compassion. He has been fully involved in our children and grandchildren’s lives, his love for all of us is unconditional.
My husband was diagnosed with severe Asthma years ago. In 2010 his “asthma” became much worse and persistent. He began to have trouble breathing almost daily without obvious asthma attacks. The Doctor reassured us that his asthma had changed but it was manageable.
