I've been dealing with anxiety most of my life! I can relate to what you say wholeheartedly!<br /><br />On the topic of your marriage, habits are easily established and behavior habits in marriage are even more easily established. It's imperative that you and your husband break the habits in communication you have formed, do whatever you both need to do to break this cycle. I can 100% relate and to be honest, we've been on this ugly cycle for a few years now but lot's of work pays off. Couple's counseling, seminars, read read read! Anything you can to break the cycle! Prayers for you and I am here if you ever need to talk!

I deal with anxiety too and have been off and on medications throughout the last 15 years.

So ...Ok, you have NOTHING to be embarrassed about!! So please don't feel ashamed! I think going to a doctor is a great idea. Get some answers! If you choose not to get medication that's ok! I just think it would be a relief to talk to a professional and get some opinions. But if this runs in your family there is a real chance it could be affecting you!<br />I cut a strangers hair once, and he gave me the best advice EVER! He told me he NEVER calls his wife a bad name, and refrains from saying what he knows would hurt her most in a moment of heated argument. Because after the fight they could make up and love on each other again, but in the back of her mind she would never ever forget the mean things he said to her. And then she would always question how he felt about her. That really stuck with me because it's true! If Eric were to call me ugly (he never has) then every single time he told me I was pretty I would second guess it. You know? So that piece of advice from the stranger taught me to fight fair from the beginning of our marriage. Eric is still learning that part.... but it's coming along :)Courtney Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932251648323616331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830860333907880672.post-63279939720881030702012-06-18T14:32:22.811-03:002012-06-18T14:32:22.811-03:00Hey booger bear. I really don't think it's...Hey booger bear. I really don't think it's anxiety - I went through the SAME thing. I really think it is just adjusting to a new life and learning how to deal with your emotions. When we get married we have to grow up quickly and women [being more emotional] struggle with the change more than men. I went on meds but quickly decided that daily medication just wasn't the life I wanted to live. I had to learn to bite my tongue and ride some things out.. and I had to learn to apologize. Like you said.. after things calm down you realiz how irrational you were... if you simply take the time to calm down FIRST you can avoid the irrational part. It's tough to swallow our pride sometimes... I think you can DEF do it without medication. :) I LOVE that he feels called into ministry.. and maybe that will help your marriage even more. I mean - a pastor cannot properly lead a congregation if he doesn't live that way at home! It could be an amazingly wonderful thing!! I LOVE YOU!!Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845445711161690445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7830860333907880672.post-22966006371148494972012-06-18T14:32:08.197-03:002012-06-18T14:32:08.197-03:00i can totally understand your frustration with you...i can totally understand your frustration with your anxiety.. i was that way not too long ago, before i started turning to God actually and delving into religion/the bible more.
