any robots with anxiety disorders here?
I have a boyfriend with really bad anxiety and I want to help in any way I can.
Any sort of advice is appreciated.
thanks xx
Yes, I have horrible panic attacks. They are very hard to help for people on the outside, but I'd say just try to help him get out of his head and focus on the real world. Touching him can help as well, I've been scared I was forgetting how to feel before and stimulation of my senses has helped small amounts. If it gets unbearable, take xanax.
i fucking love samoyeds

it hurts me to see him anxious and sad
if he has a panic attack I usually cook his favorite meal and sit with him
i wish it was easy to make him happy
if you had a gf what could she do to make things easier on you ?

Just try to calm his racing mind in any way possible. Glide your fingers across him and talk to him in a calming voice. It'd be nice if I could lay my head in my gfs lap as retarded as that may sound.
Fuck off roastie cunt, take your normie problem elsewhere

Music helps. Either listening or playing it. I was paranoid for a while in my early twenties. Like, literally "THERE ARE SNIPERS WAITING FOR ME" paranoid. I look back on it and go "wat y tho" at myself. I'd like to say "the trick is" but everyone experiences anxiety differently, and there's no real solution to it. Just find something to get your mind off it, really. Toys, music, sex, anything. Just make sure that your solution doesn't become a problem.

No wonder he loves osu so much. He's obsessed with the game. It makes sense now though. Sometimes he draws while I massage his back and shoulders. Other times he shuts down and can barely breathe. It hurts me to see him in such a bad state.

w-well anon how would you have liked her to deal with it ? I'd love to listen

By being a comforting female presence. By being secure and confident in your actions when he can't be. Say what you think is the right thing to do but don't add pressure to the situation, only logical thought.
Idk, you can't change things, you just have to be a good support. Seems like you're doing fine desu

Just get on meds
I myself am trying to go for the combo platter amphetamines, benzos, and who knows what else
I used to self medicate w/ heroin so I suggest anyone struggling with this shit you need to try and do something about it
Exposure DOES NOT help. I literally tried for 3 years and it broke me and it just gets worse so don't do what I did. I mean I already was an impulsive drug addict before the heroin so it was kind of a given that was going to happen but pain makes people do stupid things regardless
This isn't a meme, go get get help

If only. My heart breaks every time I see him have a panic attack. I feel so helpless and sad. All I want is for him to be happy.
