theforest Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Husband was officially dx with heart failure a few weeks back. I was previously widowed because of same condition. I freaked out and have been wigged out since. I knew it ahead of time from my partner having it before . But hearing it officially was devastating. I have visions of the last few months of my partner's life and of her shocking death. Years of CBT have trained me to not think so far ahead into future events that may or may not happen. But just the existence of the condition in my husband makes me freak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ananke Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'm so sorry, both for your husband and for you. Are you able to see a therapist to talk through this? CBT stuff is useful but sometimes you need to get it out. Thinking of you forest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
