We have planned our move for years and finally got the opportunity. He secured a job in the new state and we prepared everything for our transition. (Packing, flight, pet flight arrangements, etc.) We currently live in Hawaii and were planning a move back to the mainland to be closer to family. When my husband arrived to start his new job (I stayed behind to finish packing), he completely broke down with massive panic attacks every day. He was doubting our decision and could not seem to calm down about the move. He came back after 2 weeks, left the job and has been waking up during the night with anxiety ever since. He says he still wants to move, but is scared about us being able to rebuild and get established. I am in cosmetology and it would take some time to build my clientele. Anyway everything is on hold and I just don't know what to do! Our house is still for sale, we are getting offers we need to respond to! He is working temp, and I have already put in my notice to leave my job! Everything is in limbo and he seems paralyzed by fear and won't help make any decisions. I'm running out of patience! What should I do? He doesn't have insurance so going to the doctor is out of our price range at the moment!
He's never had any MAJOR anxiety episode like this before. He says he thinks he's going crazy and can't stop the worries. I feel so helpless!
 
tell him it's a good idea to move because a volcano or tsunami can wipe out every thing you have on that little island at any time. If there is a natural disaster near Hawaii you have no where to run but on main land you can hope in the car and drive away from harm
