    I am stuck with anxiety again today.  I was going through the previous posts in this thread to look up for the suggestions that you gave. I am  thinking about you today Anita. I pray to God to give you lots of  strength and patience to overcome the emotional pain that you are going through. I miss you.

    Hey Anita.Thansk for asking.I am doing ok now.Last month has been rough.Yes i am still going to therapist.He told me to do ERP. Trying my best to do exposures and not judge my obsessive thoughts. I have been taking melatonin at night to help me sleep.That has helped me a bit.

    I feel guilty for waking him up and asking for help instead of coping it by myself.

    Some days he  sleeps in a different room. On days my sleeps gets disturbed I wake him up in the middle of the night and ask him to sleep right next to me on my bed. I just tell him that I am feeling anxious and he holds my hand just to make me feel safe.

    I am able to cope up with discomfort or thoughts during the day. The same discomfort doesn’t let me sleep at night.

    Hi Anita,

    How should I overcome my anxiety without depending on my husband. I  don’t talk to him about my anxiety. I rely on him when my sleep gets disturbed at night. When I had a an anxiety attack since December I am unable to sleep at least once in a week especially on Sunday night. Through the week I am busy with office work and I get tired after office so it doesn’t disturb my sleep. During weekend as my mind is occupied with the OCD thoughts so it disturbs my sleep at night. I rely on him for the comfort at night. When I had anxiety during my childhood, I use to rely on my mother now its my husband. How do I  break this cycle ? I am scared of being alone because of this anxiety. I do pray and seek Gods help before going to sleep every time but still my sleep gets disturbed. I  have a goal set for 2022.It is to overcome my anxiety and stop being emotionally dependent on anyone.

    Thanks for input Anita.I am thinking in the same way like you said not obsessing about future.Thinking about things i can do to be finaciallly independent.Thats true i cant even find a ocd therapist in India.The therapist that i met is really good.During our last appointmnet he listed out all the obsessive thought/fears and the compulsions that i am doing.Slowly he wants me sit with those fears one by one.He also told me that i overcame so many themes by myself.Instead of beginner level treatment he would start with a bit advanced level.I felt so proud so myself how far i have come.I overcame some of the themes,I learnt driving,I overcame my social anxiety,I got a job.I never thought i am capable of all these things.

    I wish i never came to US in first place.I like how a woman is treated here.People dont judge you based upon your dress.Nobody cares about your life.People are very intrusive in India when it comes to your personal life.The only pro i can think of going to back to India is staying close to my in laws and my parents.I cant even cook what i want in my laws house it everything will done according to husbands wish.I have to live like a stranger.Sorry for ranting.I just cant stop thinking about this.
