Well, my wife has had panic attacks for about 15 years now....at that time we were dating...and now we are married. She has gone thru homeopathic and conventional remedys....the thing is now that we are at the bottom line....it is getting hard to live with.....every second she want´s us to get separated.....we have a 4 year old son...
Lately she is being really agressive......and of course, I loose my temper also....but I would love things to go on good....but don´t know how to deal with

Things must be awful for you and your family at the moment. You have to hold onto the belief that it will get better. I have suffered from anxiety and panic attacks for 16 years and if I just gave in I'm not sure where I'd be. Your wife will be feeling angry, confused and sad that this is still a huge factor in her life. It's better that she can talk to you about it all than not though so please try to remain supportive - however hard that might be. It will only get worse if you close up too. Is your wife on any medication? Perhaps if she is then her doc might be able to reduce, increase or stop altogether? If it's relevant it might do her the world of good to change her diet to one full of healthy foods and for her to exercise (if she doesn't do that already). I find that if I do both these things it boosts my self esteem and confidence which in turns helps the frequency and strength of my attacks.
These are obviously just suggestions. If she is not already what about having her join a forum like this, it's a huge help knowing that others are feeling the same way...it might just be the thing to help her get through a particularly bad day.
I hope something in this helps.
I wish you and your family all the best.

Perhapes your wife would benefit from joining this site also? Talking helps, but I think its easier writing it down for strangers to read than talking to my partner. I don't feel so... judged.

Hey there i just recently joined. Have been suffering from panic attacks for only 2 years. My mum also finds it hard to cope with me being the way i am and it does put a lot of strain on life. But i think if your wife joined the site at least she would have others to speak to in similar situations maybe not making her feel so alone. Coz its hard to understand what we go through if you dont experience it yourself but just hang in there, give her your support, i'm sure others will come up with some solutions to help.
