Welcome back all!<\/p>\n
Today is a quick and small post about a big subject: Dating someone who has anxiety.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yes, it’ll be tough, but what relationship, in general, isn’t tough? Today I will share with you what is to be expected and how to deal with it.<\/p>\n
~ The two best words to say is ‘it’s okay’ – I think some people forget how easy it is just to reassure someone just by saying ‘it’s okay’. It’s simple, but some of the best things are just that. Simple.<\/p>\n
~ Listen – Again sounds simple, but some people say they listen and don’t. Showing you do care about what’s going on in your significant other’s mind will make them feel better, and a lot more confident to open up more.<\/p>\n
~ There will be sleepless nights – Not necessarily a tip, but it isn’t to be a warning either. Sometimes your partner may not to sleep because they have too much on their mind, that’s where the two above tips comes in handy.<\/p>\n
~ There isn’t a lack of trust, but there is fear – friends with your ex? Or even just mention their name? Instantly their mind is jumping to assumptions.\u00a0Cheating?<\/em>\u00a0Do you want to break up with them? They did something wrong?<\/em> It’s uncontrollable sometimes, to play the worse case scenario in their anxious mind.<\/p>\n ~ Texting – Are you taking too long to reply? See the above statement again, they could come up with a bad scenario again. If you can try to text as soon as you can, and don’t go judging or getting mad if they send an extra text or two to you. They just care so much.<\/p>\n ~ Sometimes, staying in and doing nothing is best – we all like a lazy night, but for someone with anxiety a night out, or just going out, in general, can be a bit much for them. Suggest a chilled night in, they’d appreciate that every now and again.<\/p>\n ~ Know that you can’t always help – sometimes a significant other just needs time to breathe, they need space but don’t go too far because they do still need you, even if they don’t say it. Don’t worry yourself if you can’t help them when they’re low or anxious, sometimes nothing will seem to work.<\/p>\n ~ Time is precious – give them time and they can give you the world, in time. Patience is key, once they’ve grown enough trust and confidence with your they will love you to the moon and back.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Want to know more?
