When Your Spouse is Struggling with ANXIETY

2.  We are not crazy.

As I described earlier, an anxious mind certainly works differently than a non-anxious mind, but that doesn’t mean that we are “crazy”.  Many times, an anxious person is hard to spot because we often put on a “happy face” and are highly-functioning.  We try to hide our anxious episodes because we don’t want to burden our families.  But, we are not crazy.  In fact, we are all-to-aware of our anxiety…and that causes us to spiral into more anxiety.  The anxious person has a hard time emotionally and mentally coping with life during a season or many seasons.
