as a person with a severe anxiety disorder and years in therapy, this reads like someone who doesn’t want their partner to get better is giving bad advice. https://twitter.com/LandoSoReal/status/1312028709591932933

constantly having to reassure your partner that you aren’t going to leave them is not good. legitimizing/“validating” all your partners anxieties and taking them seriously is EXACTLY what this disorder wants you to do.

so in essence, it definitely isn’t for the weak and immature. i know this because i have done all the stuff in this thread *as the person who has anxiety*. and when you learn how to control your disorder, things get a lot easier. i’ll step off this soapbox now,
