Hey @Eyad and Welcome ๐Ÿ˜

 

The thing that struck me the most about your post is your need to protect your family but I am wondering why you do not feel you can open up to them as it seems they can to you? There is no shame nor anything wrong with having that mutual support - any relationship is a partnership and therefore it is not one person's role to 'look after' everyone else ...you may even find that the anxiety lessens knowing your family are aware and you have that additional support. Your s wife in particular may show great empathy as she is too dealing with her own MH and therefore would have great insight into what you are struggling with. A problem shared is a problem halved ...we of course are here with you but maybe your family would like to be there for you too ๐Ÿ‘
