If at all possible, get her to come with you to your doctor. If you are seeing a psychiatrist or therapist of some sort all the better. Then your mate will see the seriousness of the condition. Otherwise they may never really get it. Or if there is a lecture offered at a nearby hospital that all can attend, get her to come. She can hear what everybody else says about their conditions too. That's what my husband did. Of course, the easy way, is to get her to read all the posts here at this site, because there are a great many variety of symptoms explained here. If you find one that fits what you experience the most, make her read it. I can just picture your situation; because my husband can usually handle stress well too, and he is the exact opposite of me on the myers-briggs personality test, we can see each other's good and bad or differing qualities, which contribute to our panic conditions, and our partners who may be the total opposite. A positive way of looking at the whole situation is that really you both have qualities that the other lacks, and together, you make up a whole, or can compliment one another...work together, and learn more about each other, your differences and similarities, and she will appreciate you more, and understand more. She will also learn what her own problems are. All of us have something! Please take care...
