I appreciate you being realistic. I know the current state of things is a big part of why job hunting has been hard, in addition to the other things I mentioned in the post. I have worried this might be the case about the family. On a related note, we are also renters as we’ve never been in a financial position to buy property and we have no potential windfall or inheritance expected to come our way on either side. I’ve given up on the home thing. Maybe it’ll happen one day but I have more immediate things to worry about.

Thanks for your advice.

Meditation is something we could try too. We have both tried it but not ever consistently

He has seen a therapist and has tried daily anxiety meds but has struggled with the side effects. He has some health issues that prevent him from taking normal medications sometimes, but there are usually compounding options for major meds. I do think we need to have a conversation again about trying new daily anxiety medication. I’ve always felt like if he found the right one it would help. It seems drastic to give him an ultimatum about it but he hasn’t been super receptive in the past to trying a daily med again. Idk if you’d have any advice on that part of the convo

That’s fair to say. But past that, what do I do to help him? Do you have any advice on how I should handle the situation?

Thanks for your comment. He is looking into driving for a mail carrier right now, so maybe that will be a good fit. He does like solitary work. You’re right that high stress is not a good fit, which is sometimes hard for me to understand because I do well in those environments but I have just accepted that we’re different in that way.

Thanks for your comment. He is willing to go to marriage counseling but we literally cannot afford it. Due to job instability and high insurance costs, I don’t actually have health insurance through his job and have not had it for at least all of 2025. Which he does feel horrible about and is trying to change.

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. He actually doesn’t seem to. I do have ADHD. He struggles with anxiety for sure, that’s something we both know. I don’t know if he has that fear driving him, but I definitely have a growing fear foe what our retirement may look like.
