I've suffered from anxiety for a very long time, and while I have learnt certain ways to deal with it, right now I am not. I have finally reached out and got on the waiting list for counselling so I am feeling a little more positive but I am aware of how I act is affecting my boyfriend.
He is slowly losing patience with me, and I don't blame him. He is always supportive and always there for me, but I am terrified of pushing him away. I want to find a way to let him understand my condition more because right now I feel he doesn't (this is a newish relationship) so that it doesn't isolate him or me. He has mentioned that me being this way upsets him and he doesn't know what to do when I'm in a heap, crying and saying I'm worthless (just an example).
Is there anyone who can help? Maybe you are watching your partner go through this?
I want to be better for me, but I also want to be better for the man I love.
How can I support him supporting me?
