Google it!

It's basically the irrational fears u have in ur head playing over and over again... Some people truly believe they will die... that's what I thought... There are physical symptoms that trick people into thinking they're sick...
It's different for everyone, but support her as much as u can and it will help her get better. She's seeing a psychologist right?

I have told my boyfriend that he doesn't have to put up with my anxiety. If he can't take it, I totally understand, but if stays with me he needs to be supportive. I do the best I can by taking my xanax and trying to reason things through. Is she on anything? Maybe she should get to a doctor and see if she can get something that will help her feel better.

a person with anxiety definitely needs support from those they love. the feeling of security will help. sometimes the anxiety is so bad you literally feel like you're going to die. you're heart races and your mind behaves like you're being chase by a murderer psycho! keep reminding her how strong she is and that everything will be ok. remind her that it's only the anxiety causing her uneasiness and not reality. but the earlier post is true...if you don't love her enough to accept her and help her, you may want to rethink your relationship. the last thing she needs is someone exacerbating the anxiety!

thats what my fiance and i are dealing with. but im the one with the anxiety....its hard to deal..and in alot of cases..being alone feels like you cant breath...like noone can help you...and then sometimes being around a lot of ppl...can be even worse..you feel like your stuck and everyones gonna hurt you. its trully terrifying...but im sure she really cares about you. just help her through it....its gonna be rough but its possible.
