today was so hard for me i had a terrible anxiety attack and it felt like my whole world was crumbling:/ and my bf just told me to calm down, i get he was trying to calm me down but it didn’t help. it just made me even more anxious. just needed to get this off my mind
Some ppl don’t understand anxiety if they don’t experience it in the same way; I’ve found that the right people will listen and never judge tho!! I used to be so concerned when I would be so anxious especially when there wasn’t a clear reason, but people will understand and be there to help :)
Telling me to calm down works about as well as baptizing a cat. I sat my husband down and told him if he really wants to help.
A: don't touch me
B: just tell me its going to be ok and help me focus on his breathing so i can match it.
That really helped him understand a lot better.
