help-circle


















  • The nice thing about opening up to friends about it is that they can help you baseline.

    For instance: when things were really peaking my anxiety a few months ago, I was in distress because I felt like I wasn’t important to my SO anymore. I communicated my fear and the situation to a friend and he was able to give me a different perspective: that the way I was thinking about relationships was zero-sum, but that my SO’s heart may have enough room for both all the love I needed AND her new friends. I just need to communicate with my SO if I’m actually feeling neglected or not.

    It was good for me to hear from another person that the way I perceived the world isn’t necessarily the way everyone does.
