Morning @Wanderer

I am hearing you too.

I began experiencing anxiety attacks around three years ago when my husband was at his most emotionally aggressive.  In hindsight I can see that I had some similar (but different) experiences earlier in my marriage when my controlling mother in law was out of hand, and I was under extreme pressure with sick kids and a work-absent husband.  

At the time I couldn’t recognise the symptoms as belonging with anxiety attacks because I had not known people who could be so oppressive.

The form of emotional chaos we have at the moment is passive-aggressive.  I know from what you have written before that you know all about that too.

I am so glad your sister is there for you, that you are receiving medical support, and that you ar here talking with us .... people who have experienced something similar and who understand what you are going through.

I agree with @frog .... take whatever minimal steps you can to get through each day.  

It’s a bit like an earthquake .... there are big shocks, then series of smaller aftershocks, but they do diminish with time and care.

Your one job at the moment is taking care of you.

Hugs

Yes ... current and ongoing here too @Wanderer, but your health is under greater strain.  Keep taking those steps of self-care .... the intensity of this moment will pass .... things will progressively change ....
