I hear you.While I'm not negating that Tim is her safety crutch and she can't go anywhere by herself, if one has been truly diagnosed with panic / anxiety disorder as I have by a real doc and not self-diagnosed, it doesn't really MATTER at times if Tim is there or not.
I mean, we could theoretically say that my DH is my "crutch" a lot of the time too, or another family member. But I've gotten countless panic attacks in the presence of him, family members, on otherwise mundane, low-stress days, at Disney World, at Universal, at SeaWorld, at Legoland, etc. with DH or my family members - just walking around at the perceived "best" of times.
tit just goes wonky in your head, and they don't just turn on and off because one person is present or not present; that would atypical of all I've known since learning about this after my first panic attack in 1998.
I think she may have freaked out here or there at one time or another, but now it's just an excuse. I don't believe for one second she's ever described in full any of the typical symptoms of a true panic / anxiety disorder.
I’m only observing the patterns that I see and recognize from my own experience. The main thing with Jenn is she literally does nothing on her own. Ever. Like doesn’t leave the house, with or without Buddy. She doesn’t even do things alone in a closed environment, like on these cruises or in the parks.
But again, I hear you and I don’t disagree. Just my take.
