Dependency/What to do?


21 years ago 0 56 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi there. Does anyone have extreme dependency on one paticular person in your life? One of my greatest fears with my panic/anxiety is that something will happen to my husband or that he will die before me and I will be left all alone to suffer with this disorder myself. I depend a lot on him, for support, strength and encouragement. I feel like if something happened to him, I would have to be admitted or something. My thought is "there is no way I would be able to cope without him, I don't even think I could live by myself". This is a reoccurring daunting thought in my life. I don't know how to get over this. How do I become more dependent in my life? I do believe in God, I am a christian. I try to point my dependency on his strength, but it is so hard sometimes. This is a real problem in my life, that I don't know if I can conquer. Any advice? festivefeet <><
