I have been dealing with anxiety for a long time, mainly health anxiety which has been very bad for the last 3-4 months, i have been with my partner for 5 years and he has witnessed it all, re assured me a million times, came with me to appointments, gave me all the rational advice, comforts me, tries everything to relax me, i can see how much it affects him when i break down, he just wants more than anything for me to be better.
I always appreciate what he does, and make sure he knows that, but it cannot be pushed aside that he is also dealing with the affects of long term anxiety and it has impacted his life greatly :weep:
I don't know if there is any support out there for partners/family/loved ones, but there should be. It's an everyday struggle and without him i don't know if i would have been as strong as i have,
I think anyone in a similar situation should take some time out to think about this and just let them know how appreciated they are :)
