I am the partner with anxiety. I often feel like my husband and I aren't on the same page. He tends to have a hard time understanding my anxiety, and has a very hard time with my acceptance of my mental health. He thinks I will eventually be "cured" of it, and gets very upset when I tell him I might live with it the rest of my life, even though I will work on it and try my hardest every day.

His sister committed suicide a few years ago, and ever since he has been on high alert with my anxiety. He is constantly on high alert with every decision I make, and I have a very hard time explaining how his sister and I are different. I hate seeing him so wound up all the time, and it takes its toll on me too. I have suggested he go to therapy, but he is quite against that for himself.

I'm currently in therapy, and my therapist suggested I try and find some resources to help him educate himself on mental health. She is going to do research on her side as well for good resources, but I thought I would ask here. We talk a lot and I try explaining to him how I'm feeling and what I need, but it doesn't seem to work well; I think it hits too close to home with his sister, and I'm thinking of something more like a book or something he can read to try and understand anxiety better.

Are there any good resources/books/material out there for partners to educate themselves on mental health? Anyone else been in a similar situation before?
