What to Remember When Loving Someone with Anxiety

It gets super frustrating to struggle with anxiety, especially because other people do not understand what you're going through. I read a great article this week that describes the experience of anxiety better than pretty much anything else I've read. These were the main points to keep in mind when you love someone with anxiety:

1. They are more than just their anxiety.

2. They can get tired easily.

3. They can get overwhelmed easily.

4. They are well aware that their anxiety is often irrational.

5. They can communicate how they feel (you just have to actually listen).

6. They appreciate you sticking by them.

7. They can find it hard to let it go.

8. They can find change difficult (even if it's expected).

9. They aren't (always) intentionally ignoring you.

10. They aren't always present.

11. They don't always see it as a limitation (nor should you).

12. They are awesome!
