It's hard for our partners and my boyfriend too can at times be so unsupportive of me, he thinks it's all in my head and I need to sort it out but it isn't that easy. Other times he can be extremely reassuring. I wish he realised that fighting me about it only makes anxiety worse and all I need is a yea no answer to a question etc..

He suggested cutting this down to not checking fOr half the day and then progressing more and more x
