Kili, did your husband only develop anxiety attacks not too long ago.. I
don't remember him having them before say 6 months ago.

I'd say his started about 8 or 9 months or so ago. He became out of work
and my health took a turn for the worse. Between worrying about me and the
bills, he started the anxiety - for which he jokingly blames me. He thinks
he "caught" it from me. LOL.

Well stress and worry can certainly cause anxiety, but I think your body has
to have some pre-disposition, and you couldn't help your illness. I'm sure
you would have been very glad not to have it. And being out of work would
certainly cause a lot of stress as you need the money. Its unfortunate that
he started to get anxiety attacks. He doesn't need that when he is trying to
get jobs as you need the money and doesn't help your anxiety. Maybe both of
you need to go to anxiety classes >:). I wish things would go better for
both of you. My extra best wishes.

Mary
