Communicating Anxiety to your Partner
Anxiety Support / by TrinityFoxx
Last post

...See more Hello friends, New here. Hopefully I can get some advise as well as give some to fellow anxious folks. Bit of back story, I had my first panic attack experience in 2014 which hospitalized me. I've since then learned about recognizing symptoms and calming myself down without support. Some days are harder than others, I'll admit. I have been doing better and haven't been anxious until recently. I've been in a committed relationship with a person whom hasn't really had a partner who goes these kinds of things. He's kind but I've also downplayed alot of my anxious feelings for his benefit. I want to open up more and discuss because I feel that if he experiences worse than what I've shown him it may be too much for him to handle.. I'm scared that he will think it's too much or not worth it and leave. Again, I'm very independent and can usually get myself out of my spirals alone but it would be more reassuring if I could communicate with him too, especially considering he's someone I want to be a part of my future. How do I start this dialog? We've talked about it before and he claims I'm not that bad but again, it's due to the fact that I've held back a lot. Thanks for reading :)
