I need some support!!

[Fitzy]

Hi,
I'm new on this forum and going through the worst time of my life right now :(
I have suffered anxiety all my life after growing up around an anxious mum.
I am 39 and met my husband when I was 18 only been married for last two years.
I have changed from being quite outgoing when we met to my current state and he has looked after me and protected me up until now. We have only really had each other and some family members as my illness has meant that I have created my own little bubble and kind of cut us off from all our friends to the point where we only really spend time together
But now he has told me that he is unhappy with our life and he is going to leave me.
I don't have anyone to turn to as he is all I have got....I'm worried I will not cope without him around. What can I do? How do you all cope if you are on your own??

Hi Fitzy, talk to him or your family members, see what the issue is and try to accommodate him, it may be hard but you must try.

Are you on any meds, does your GP know.

Try to be positive, I know its hard, we have all been there and some like me still are from time to time.

I have tried talking to him but he is leaving me and I do not think I can change his mind now.i can not blame him as I have needed a lot from him over the years and he did not really sign up to be my carer!
I am on mirtazipine highest dose. I am going to doctors this week so will ask for some counselling support maybe.

Asking for counselling support sounds like a good idea.

Perhaps have a look to see if there is any Relate counselling available locally.

They specialise in couples counselling which maybe a good way for you both to get to the root of the problems and arrange some compromises.

Thank you, I have suggested this to him but he won't go for it :(
I know I just need to accept his decision to leave but I am just so scared to be on my own he has always been there.

I'm struggling so bad today with this anxiety, my stomach is churning constantly. Have phoned samaritans 3 times already today and nothing is helping !! :( :(
