Then what he asked? What if your husband asks you if you are happy, what do you say? What if things end before you have a job? WTF? Do you want to give me heart attack??????

These are the questions and hypotheticals that my therapist asked me.

As for me? I need to go with the flow and take things as they come, one day at a time. I cannot plan for all these different possible scenarios - it's giving me MASSIVE anxiety!

And I am calling every possible friend and family member to talk about this upcoming divorce. I have SO many emotions swirling around it.. the main one being anxiety. Nothing seems to be helping to ease my anxieties, no matter how many people I call and no matter whom I speak with.

I think I am freaking out.
This is just a guess because I don't know the full context or tone of voice, but maybe your therapist was trying (but made it worse) to give you a worst case scenario to say that even if you lost all these things what would you have? I.e. friends and family that love you, a good heart, etc.

I know you have helped alot of people here on pc including myself. Your validations have gotten me through some dark times. I'm sure others would agree.
