Money worries could cause anxiety attacks
Your wife will probably know there is something wrong with you that requires you to go see a Dr long before you even thing about it. Men who are not married have a significantly lower life expectancy then men who are married.
Most couples will experience some financial ups and downs at some point in their relationship. That is perfectly normal, but what really matters is how you deal with them. As a couple you must communicate your feelings , even the negative ones, with each other or they will sit there and fester until they explode.
The TV news is full of reports of foreclosures, lower wages and job cuts that are happening all over the USA. These reports cause me some anxiety and I know that my house is safe and so is my job. If you know that your family is under some additional financial pressure and your partner has a history of anxiety then you must pay even more close attention to them than ever before.
A job loss, medical bills piling up and foreclosure looming can push the best of us towards panic and anxiety, as a married couple you should be willing to work together and face these financial problems and discuss the panic that can be caused by financial worries.
How will you know if the financial pressures are pushing your partner towards an anxiety attack? Well you should be able to notice changes in the way they behave around you and also the way they behave in the lead up to social situations and during the social situations themselves.
Blaming each other for the situation you are currently in will not help you at all. Blaming each other will just mean that you spend even longer arguing and fighting before you come around and start dealing with the situation as it is rather than how you wish it was.
If you don’t discuss the anxiety that is affecting your spouse then they will not get better and it will carry on building up to a point where it will come out as a full blown anxiety attack that could end up with them in an emergency ward. Ignoring the situation will not make it go away.
Remember that your marriage is more important than any property, you can always get another house while it is a lot harder to build up the love and friendship that comes with years of marriage.
