Basically, my heart wants to tell her, labeling this as a condition and overthinking about being an overthinker will make it worse. Just stay busy and it will work out.
But then ill be deemed as insensitive etc… Ive tried to share what Ive done, like simply not allow myself google a medical condition beyond 10 minutes but ive gotten negative reactions.

It's easy enough to say that she shouldn't dwell on negative thoughts, but that's hard to do in practice. Therapy can help. Meditation can help. Quitting drinking alcohol can help. Exercise can help. Maintaining a sense of humor can help.
- metabagel 3y agoSomething else you can do is to not add to your partner's anxiety. Be understanding of her flaws and failures, just as you would like her to be understanding of yours.
