I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder.
Today, I couldnt get my car out of my garage. The remote just wasnt working. I tried a couple of things but in the end I had to call my husband, me almost in tears at this point, to go and get the kids. He was angry and shouting (not necessarily at me, more the fact he had to rush and leave work). Back and forth on the phone with him and im feeling like im a burden and the whole situation is my fault and he almost has an accident while rushing to get the kids.
After another 2 angry phone calls, im in tears in a panic attack and he is just in do not care mode. He gets them and then when he comes home, just gives me a short hug and says that he is sorry that he is unsympathetic and that he loves me.
Am I right to feel hurt?

Thank you for your post. I’m so sorry to hear that you had this stressful experience – one that it sounds like was completely out of your control.
It can be frustrating and hurtful when it feels like our emotions are dismissed, especially at a time when we might have been feeling extra vulnerable, and is certainly not unexpected to be feeling hurt by this.
If this is something that has happened before, it may be worthwhile bringing it up with your husband and let him know what you need in moments where you can feel your anxiety spiking. You could also speak to Relationships Australia for some advice on 1300 364 277 for some expert support, if you like.
I hope things are feeling a little better now after a few days and that there was something nice that you were able to do for yourself afterwards. You deserve to acknowledge that you felt hurt and treat yourself gently.
Take good care of yourself, Little Cherubs
Kind regards
Sophie M

Hello Dear! I am really sorry for what you have went through. It sounds quite stressful and overwhelming. Your emotions are valid. You are never a burden for feeling something that is beyond your control. Please be gentle with yourself. You deserve understanding and care.
