[quote=Anonymous]I am on the back end of this exact sort of issue, and meds and a ton of frequent exercise helped my DH. But the biggest thing for him that seemed to get him out of it was honestly me going toe-to-toe with him. I always tried to do it his way bc I thought it would help in the immediate sense and make him feel better. But the minute my steel backbone came into play, that's what helped him chill. For example--cutting bread on the wrong board? I'd look him square in the eye and go, "I want to make something very clear. I care about a lot of your opinions. But I will never care what cutting board you seem to be under the impression one uses to cut bread. I'll never care enough to even attempt to let that fill up my brain space." And then turnaround and go back to it. For some reason being like, yeah I don't care what you think, really helped. It set up bounderies that seemed to almost calm him. [/quote]
