I also experience a lot of anxiety over what people at work think since I
rarely "show" that I'm miserable (sometimes I am - not always). I think I
worry so much because I am so judgemental and I'm really working on that. I
need to learn to say "screw it" as far as what other people think!

Other issues that I'd like to raise are my wife's guilt feelings over not
doing more around the house and with the kids; her frustration that most
people around her (including me at times?) don't appreciate or acknowledge her
condition because it's not so visible anymore and she has recovered quite a
bit; and our uncertainty about the future because no one can predict how her
recovery will go.**
