Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

Hi luv2chat, it is good that he has accepted that he has anxiety and i think that it would probably be a good idea for him to see his dr just to exclude other possible physical causes ?
I have tried mindfulness to help with anxiety ? I have an AP on my phone which i can set and just do short sessions for ten minutes or so.
Good luck

Start with a g.p. it could be physical or emotional, you don't know. Could be an easy fix with vitamins or medication, or a long slow fix with counselling.

Very good that he has acknowledged there is an issue. Anxiety is absolutely awful and makes us difficult to live with. Everyone's life is so much nicer when we get it dealt with!!

Thanks everyone yes it is his journey indeed but also mine as bridgie said it is hard to live with he gets going a million miles an hour and in turn gets me stressed out i usually calmly talk or just walk away until he calms down he isnt the type to join a support group......when i was young i dealt with my own anxiety thru self helpbooks etcetc now for many years ive learned to stay more calm

Anxiety is natural.
A full physical check-up will rule out some medical conditions that push anxiety into overwhelming levels.
It's important to remember that it is NOT up to you to change how he sees his anxiety, it is up to you to keep your well-being first in responding and reacting. By changing how you respond and react, it will change his response and his reaction because the usual response no longer fits.
Best wishes!
