Desperate for direction

[Doingitright]

Thank you to all. It has been all calm and quite for 2 days I have been helping her out with anything I can. She has been saying she is having anxiety attacks due to feeling overwhelmed by everything that is happening: kids, school, her business, the house etc.
W seems to have calmed down as well. She is leaving nice messages on my phone and carrying on conversations like we used to have; talking about what is going on and planning and talking through things like a team (to reduce the overwhelmed feeling).

I have been very big in the listener category and much less in the talking category. She mentioned how much she appreciated my helping her and being kind etc for this week. W said she didn't expect that after how our week started. These all seem like baby steps in the right direction and for that I am very cautiously happy. To me it is like my wife is trying a 180. For now I will just keep cautiously plugging along to keep it moving forward.
