Loving someone with anxiety can feel helpless sometimes.
You want to fix it. You say “just don’t worry” or “it’ll be fine” and it backfires.
Here’s the truth: Anxiety isn’t logical. You can’t reason with it or fix it with the right words.
But you CAN support them through it.
The best support isn’t fixing or minimizing. It’s:
✨ Staying present without solving
✨ Validating without feeding the anxiety
✨ Learning what helps THEM specifically
✨ Staying calm when they can’t (co-regulation is real)
Exhausted from supporting them? That’s valid. It’s hard loving someone in pain you can’t take away.
But they don’t need you to fix them. They need you to be present while they learn to regulate.
If their anxiety is severe, encourage therapy. That’s not giving up… it’s giving them tools you can’t provide.
