Partner has anxiety and its hurting me

[jim4004]

Hi All,

Ive been going out with my partner for over a year now and love her so much.  She such a beautiful intelligent girl.
At the start she was the perfect girl friend full of confidence. She said she had never felt so comfortable with anyone before and said thing like 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you' and other things along theses lines. This was so humbling as I felt exactly the same. During this period though she was always worried about what shes wearing, doesnt think she attractive, (eventhough she clearly is), and doesnt like making decisions. This didnt bother me, and I never pushed her to make any. Im a understanding and calm person.

Just before christmas she began saying thing like she felt suffocated, but when I said I will stay at my home tonight she said please stay, I want you to. Her feeling were made worse as her grand dad died during this time which resorted her to feel like she was dying, pregnant and other things. This only confirmed my feelings that she suffers with anxiety.

I began talking to her about it, but she was in denial. So while i was away university I emailed her a description of someone who suffers from anxiety saying is this how you feel? and she said its exactly me. She booked to see a Doctor where they prescribe her Fluxorine, and her work have offered to pay for counselling for her.

She says she loves me, but she keeps constantly thinking about the future, and us. She says that Im too good to her, and Ive said that we are going to get through it, and that Im not gonna leave her, and Im here day or night.

The stage im at now is that Ive started worrying about it all, and making me feel down.

Can anyone help to put things in perceptive about how shes feeling? and anything else I can do to help?

Many thanks JIM
