[quote=Anonymous]I think many DHs are like OP's.  What can they do when you are raving and ranting and having a panic attack? He is also as scared as you.

He got you ice and ibuprofen. There is nothing much he can do.  Your own behavior is not reassuring because in the face of a problem, you fold up and have a panic attack.  You also mix the mundane (house is trashed with small kids!! DUH!!!) with profound (we don't have family support and we have 2 very small kids and if something happens to one of us, we feel we are up shitz' creek).  So you actually bombard him with more panic...

I would suggest the following - PRIORTIZE.   Your priorties are -
1) You all should remain alive, healthy and COVID free.  
2) Your house should remain standing
3) You should have the basics covered - every one fed and warm - and kids safe from harm.
4) You both need to remain employed but ask for leave if you need medical leave.  Because if you become disabled or sick (See Priority 1) - you will not be able to hold on to Proority 1 and 3.

Every single person's house is forever trashed every single hour and day. Accept it.  [/quote]
