Yesterday I had a severe panic attack. I have not had one in several years. My wife and I Were at church....I felt scared....I felt like I was going to drop right there....I told wife I needed to go home...she stayed and her parent's brought her home afterwards....I went home and put on some music and cried solid for quite some time. Then my wife came home and we were going over to the in-laws house for lunch...I got really panicky on the way over there....we turned around and came home I went to bed and my wife stayed right with me....I cried again....in front of her. I cried hard....She climbed in bed and let me hold her....she is awesome...my first wife never did that..this is my second marriage and she is great. I have never cried in front of her before even with all the abuse issues we have had to deal with....she told me I was man enough to cry and thats good.

it has been awhile, but i have had those days, and you arent even sure what causes them sometimes. i remember getting very say, to the point of crying, and not even fully knowing why. once, after watching a movie about a little girl's abuse, i cried forever. my wife didnt fully understand what being triggered was, but she didnt run away either. we just kind of laid there for awhile until i was okay again.

you have a good wife there.
 
Tobey,

I remember well the panic attacks. I was always afraid I would feel that way forever. They did get less and less powerful. I still nearly have them now and then. I think it is to the point that I fear I will have one agian but haven't had one in awhile that actually keeps me from functioning. It gets better. You have a great wife that stays with you. Hang in there.

Tobey,

That's exactly it. Man enough to admit he has feelings and the need to express them. Your wife must be an awesome source of support.

Much love,
Larry
 
Hugs to you Tobey.

I am glad that your wife is supportive and understands that a man does need to cry sometimes - a crying man is not a weak man - it is only a man who is hurting inside - crying does not make him weak - it takes srength to be able to cry in front of others

I have cried a lot lately - I've had a lot of good reason to - it does not make me less of a man - just means I've ha da lot of very painful emmotions that had to come out in tears

tears are the bodies way of washing pain from the body - without tears the pain just builds up inside untill it consumes the person or explodes out - better to let it out than to hold it in

just my thoughts - and tears,

Tobey,

Wow! That is so awesome. I think a good cry can vent the pain held inside a person. You are lucky to have a supportive wife. No not lucky, you earned her support and deserve it.

true strength is in weakness. what can be stronger than allowing yourself to show vulnerability when you know you're around someone that supports you.
crying is good. releases tension and all.
your wife seems like one amazing woman. i'm very glad for you both.
 
hey Tobey:

that is awesome! i am happy for you that you have a partner who will be by your side supporting you in your hour of need. you are truly a fortunate man. and i admire your ability to cry. it has been years since i last shed a tear. r u in therapy? do you have a T to help you with your panic attacks? i am in therapy now and my dr definitly helps me thru the tuf stuff. i go to a publicly funded office here in indiana. fees are income-based. ok Tobey, i hope that all turns out well for you. above all else, to thine own self be true. sincerely,

panic attacks suck, I think I've only had like 2 of them, but I feel on the verge of one everyday.
