My wife recently asked me for a separation. She is going through her own issues with a therapist so the devastation and self turmoil led me to try and find my own. Early indications are that I have at minimum general anxiety.

I like to understand things, so I'm doing as much reading as I can about it. The more I read the more I realize all of the things that my wife struggled with in our relationship is due to my anxiety. Over-sharing and overwhelming her, constant worry, adding stress to the household simply by being tense, among others I'm sure.

I know I'm thinking ahead and I know that is probably the anxiety making me do so, but how do you cope with the fact that your anxiety and the lack of addressing it may be what tears your family apart? Because I'm not ok, and I don't talk to my therapist for a week.
