Since April, Ben has been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. Most of the time, he has them at work. At the nagging of his dear wife and one of his friends, Ben finally started seeing a therapist about this problem after making it known that he wanted to take care of this without meds if possible.
Ben really clicked with his therapist, and I am so thankful for that. But it became very clear to me that he really needed to be on medication to get this under control. So again, I nagged him until he went to the doctor.
At his doctor's appointment, Ben became extremely anxious - shaking, vomitting and breaking out into a cold sweat. His doctor suggested doing some blood work to make sure we were not mistaking an emotional issue for a medical one. Ben's bloodwork did reveal that there may be medical issues along with those emotional ones he's been experiencing. So, there are more tests in our near future.
My heart breaks for Ben. I know he's scared, and so am I.
