Struggling Long Distance Relationship
35 & Over Community / by pinkCar6517

...See more I'm a 36 m and I have a long distance gf, 33. We met online and decided we were interested in a relationship shortly after. I have minor anxiety, and she has more crippling anxiety. We do calls, video calls, texting all the time, etc. When things are good, they're great. But part of her anxiety causes severe lack of self confidence and depression. She's in therapy, which is good, but I struggle to help and support her. When she's in a bad mood she lashes out, blames me for things or tells me that I'm not actually interested her. Calls herself ugly and unlovable, and if I tell her otherwise she says I'm lying. It's hard and hurts sometimes, but I've learned to deal with it because she always feels bad and apologizes later. I just want to help and support her but I don't know how, and feel like I'm failing. Looking for some guidance from anyone in a similar situation, or how they handle it.
