Re: How to deal with family when they don't always "get" it?

Thanks for your post. It's good to know we are not alone. While my husband is great, and like you, I feel lucky to be married to my husband, he sometimes just doesn't get it. And I get the feeling he thinks it's all in my head - saying things like "everyone gets anxious. Just snap out of it." he's trying to be helpful and supportive in this way, but it makes me feel worse - because I can't just snap out of it.he will also say things like you have been so strict on your diet, just cheat and have a cookie or glass of wine. Not realizing how cheating really makes things horrible for me - physically and emotionally. I also feel guilty that he has to deal with me and my ups and downs. I feel like I bring him down. So, thanks for posting and reminding us that there others who get it!!!!!!
