Jen, I pray that is the case, but he's a classic "loner." He keeps most everything inside, includung things that are not traumatic but events that fall under "the code" of police officers. Like who am I gonna tell? I initiated a talk about opening up to me: not being able to help him w/his anxiety if I don't know where it's coming from, just an outline, etc. He said he was tired of me "pushing him" & "telling him what to do." (As in your case) Aside from walking, which his psych recommended, I don't recall telling him what to do.(???):frown: He said most of the time he didn't know where the anxiety was coming from, & changed the subject when I mentioned the outline thing. I mentioned how we had handled episodes in the past & how well it worked. He just gave me this mistrustful look, like "Can I really trust you, or are you gonna commit me?" (I know that's his greatest fear.)
I just feel so helpless (& I'm not comfortable w/that feeling). Does anyone else feel the same way? What do you do?:dontknow:
