sick of it all....

[Nates_Mumma]

my df is an absolute insensitive *****...

i suffer from anxiety/panic attacks when he goes away for work - so much so that i cant stay by myself.

I have got my whole head around and accepted the whole idea of him going away 1-2 nites ... just informs me that he's away for tues nite - then goes away on fri for 8 days...

"oh we need the money...."

I told him i would rather have nothing and starve then have to be dosed up to the hilt on friggin valium for the next 2 + weeks.

He wont see sense.. its as if i mean nothing to him

:hugs: It's hard when they work away. Do you have people to keep you company?

Men don't understand a lot of things like this.:no:

My DH is on nightshift doing 14hr shifts 6 days a week and I never sleep when he is not here.

I know the feeling of not wanting to be left alone for long periods. I dread it.

Are you worried something will happen to him while he is away or are you concerned about being alone? For me it is the dread that I won't ever see him again. :gloomy:

Anxiety and panic is the worst feeling in the world. I know how it feels- I have OCD and when it is not under control with meds it is pure hell. It is hard because people who dont have anxiety issues just dont understand how horrible it is.

Do you have family/friends to keep you company? You know there are always people here that would be more than happy to chat to you and provide reassurance on lonely/anxious nights.

Hey guys, i have anxiety issues too, im actually going through the obssesive thinking, i havnet had this happen in so long but no i had to go and read something that triggered everything!!! arggggh

i dont have this problem with people close to me leaving like i dont feel scared i actually prefer being by myself as i love my space and get claustropobic, but my dad has this problem with my mum, he has anxiety too (thanks dad!) anyway i guess im trying to understand it coz my dad has a real problem with it, i feel sorry for him coz my mum is the most insensitive person there is she doesnt support him when he has these issues, she just puts us down and calls us weaK because we suffer from fear, see what i mean now by insensitive, if she only knew what it was like even for a day i swear, u know most people in the world who are completly shallow are those who dont have these problems.

But us on the other hand have wisdom and compassion for others because of what we go through, i dont buy into what she saz though which is lucky i often tell her mum geez what if i wasnt a strong person what if i had an eating disorder or whatever she could ruin me, she kept calling me fat after i gave birth when i am way skinnier than she is, i was a size 10 when she was calling me fat how wrong is that, ok sorry lost track there anyway but i think my dad said something like coz when she goes overseas for holidays he fears shes not gonna come back and because its not natural to get on a plane and go overseas, like he really gets himself in a state but i just dont understand it, what symptoms do you get with this? my dad doesnt really talk about it with me, well i only just found out hes had anxiety a few months ago after telling him i did haha geeez what a life hey.. i just want to understand what he goes through??
