Re: Anxiety Advice

(Anonymous) 2015-08-22 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Not too long ago I had anxiety/depression that made it difficult to leave the house at times. Someone else has already commented on the fact that it mostly has to come from him, you can't force someone into this, that might only make it worse. But maybe you can make it easier for him.

For me the worst was if it was something/somewhere unfamiliar. Oh, and I still hate 'spontaneous' plans, I need time to mentally prepare. How much time depends on how good a day/week I'm having. The best is routine: if I'm expected to be at a familiar place at the same time each day/week/whatever, after a while I stop thinking about it and just do it.

But your partner might be different. If he has time to prepare he might start overthinking things and that might make him anxious. So talk to him and figure out what the problem is.

Also, start small and slow. It might be different for your partner, but I always get anxious when people try to encourage me by listing endless amounts of suggestions and ideas for stuff I could do and try. Suggest one activity for the evening/weekend/whatever. Then leave it alone.

Finally, be prepared for it to take a lot longer than (either of) you want it to. As I said, it's easier to get out of the house now, but I'm not better. I still have problems. I have made a lot of progress, but other (normal? healthy?) people can't see it. Sometimes that creates conflict between me and people who want me to get better. They don't quite understand how bad it was, they just see that it's taking really long for me to be able to do stuff most people have no trouble with. Be patient.

Good luck to both of you :)
