I understand. If you get a web camera like I bought one for $40ish dollars, you can talk with a therapist like I was saying at a set time and it's nice because you don't have the stress of leaving to their office as I know what that is like.... I really encourage the book I mentioned about Mindfulness through Anxiety. It helps with a different approach , like being an observer and how we can't respond to anxiety related things by running away etc like we do with real danger which makes sense! The key is being an observer and they teach you/your wife how. You're a kind husband to come on here to ask for support. Feel free to post more and I or someone else will try to help out. IT is stressful on a marriage thats why I'm eager to change too. It's something that has to be overcome with doing and not avoiding. The key is doing things in steps and coping effectively til calmer before returning to the car or the front door etc so the brain can reexperience it over and over as being okay rather than false danger.

"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."
