Hi, Thanks for your very helpful reply. Lets get something very straight, his anxiety does not ANNOY me. Is it hard to be with someone who suffers from mental health and refuses to seek help?

Hi everyone. I have been with a partner who suffers from anxiety (and some depression), for about many years. Recently his anxiety has gotten alot worse, and i feel like the only emotion he feels is either irritation, frustration or anger. Otherwise he feels completely empty and unhappy and has a vo...

Hi.. my partner has GAD. He’s a very vocal person and also very anxious and worried person. The smallest decision needs to be discussed.. and he is always worried about things that can go wrong. Sometimes I feel like I’m his therapist.. and he’s mentioned that too. He tells me absolutely everything ...

Hi everyone I’m the long term partner of a man who suffers GAD. He’s had it 10 years now (diagnosed). I’ve realized one thing about him, he can’t stand it when life isn’t ‘exciting’. Most of us go through their day by following a certain routine and so does he.. the problem is that he’s pretty bored...

Also, when he did say he didn't feel the spark and no excitement etc etc I calmly asked him 'okay so what would you like to do about it' And he got really wound up. He said he wanted to discuss his feelings with me and I shouldn't ask that question. I said to him 'I don't mean it in a bad way, I don...

Hey anxietybucket. Thanks for your reply.

Hi everyone . I'm the partner of someone who has suffered with anxiety for years. I really need to know from you guys if what he feels is to do with anxiety.

He's always been a person who cannot be alone, distracted, bored.. it's not quite his personality as I do know him, it's like he's got nervous energy in him all the time but even more so now after this event

Hi everyone. Hope you're all well. I'm here posting on behalf of a friend. He's my best friend so I really care for his wellbeing. He has gone through a rather nasty breakup, the girl he was with for about 12 months really deceived and manipulated him. She started of by showing him that she was a ve...

Hi Everyone. I hope you are all well. I am writing this with so many tears running down from my eyes. A massive lump in my throat. I havent eaten for days, and when I manage to fall asleep…I usually wake up at 05.00 am, as I am experiencing a panic attack. I have no where to go, and no one to speak ...

Hi guys, thanks for your replies :) Phantasy: Thanks for the advice :) we have been together for 3,5 years and he actulally often brings up marriage however I think at the same time it really frightens him and makes him doubt our relationship. Sometimes he can have phases where he says "Are we ...
