Thoughts, Prayers or Dust Needed
I am so scared/worried/concerned...not sure of the emotion right now. Yesterday I got a text from DH saying he didn't go to work. He was really anxious and went back home. I thought he was kidding. I called him laughing....when I heard his voice I knew he was serious. He told me he was going to just rest. Around 10:30 he sent me a text asking if I could come home. I came home around 1pm. He just laid around all day not feeling well.
This morning he left for work before me. I had this feeling he wasn't going to make it to work. I took my time getting ready. As I was walking out the door he walked in. White as a ghost and shaking like a leaf. I dont know whats wrong with him. This hasn't ever happened before. I made him a dr appt at 8:30. My husband is always so strong and this is really scaring me. I have been very strong for him and trying to be encouraging. He just is very anxious, sick to his stomach, shaky. Yesterday he said maybe it's post tramatic stress disorder PTSD hitting him. He has had moments with that in the past, but always worked through them. Never missed work or not been able to do something.
I already called in to work. I am suppose to go to our LA office tomorrow. I think I am going to have to postpone the trip. I can't leave him like this.
Any thoughts, prayers or dust you have would be greatly appreciated.
Re: Thoughts, Prayers or Dust Needed
Oh wow Becky, I'm sending you lots of good thoughts, prayers and dust. Maybe all that super intensive house work/moving/painting has caught up to him. All that continuous hard labor puts a toll on your body and maybe he needs some rest, too? Get him checked out, and I totally understand if you can't make it out tomorrow. No worries, we'll see each other soon. ;-)
KEEP US POSTED!!! XOXO

You got it!
I don't know much about PTSD but it can show up in many different ways.

I think Becky is referring to Art's military experience. PTSD is really tough because of the fact that it can come on unexpectedly, and years after any stressful event.
Good luck Becky. I will keep you and Art in my prayers!
Oh my sweetie!! Maybe the stress of the move is taking it's toll on him. I hope it's just an anxiety attack and nothing serious. My prayers to you both!
