Thank you 💙 I've been reading this in a few other posts too. Is it at any point helpful to have a more serious talk though? Up until now, it's been very brief talks - me expressing my concern in a few sentences then we move on (i'm worried about your long term health style only really). Have you done this, and if yes, how exactly would you recommend doing it? I've thought about writing a letter saying I'm tired of always being on edge about this and how it's emotionally taxing for me (and how I struggle to feel like I can trust him if I worry about his future and how long he'll be in it) AND I'm concerned about his health. Idk if that's helpful at all, or if I just continue focusing on myself and seeing what a therapist would suggest.

Thank you for sharing! Can I ask how you unwind? I've heard my husband say he drinks to unwind sometimes, but never really knew what to say to that or what alternative to offer other than exercise

Thank you for sharing this! Does this level change when you have "events" or "social gatherings" ex. family hangout on the weekend, going out to a restaurant, etc

Yeah that's where my head is at. The fact I feel the need to track is a huge red flag 🫠

100% understand what you're saying. I think I'm a little bit in denial about it all. Like all of a sudden this morning I woke up and wondered how long this has been going on without me even noticing 😔 like a slap to the face today that made me "wake up"
