It’s my understanding that people who struggle with anxiety and depression are often set back when it is the time of year that a certain traumatic event happened. Sadly, it is this time of year for my boyfriend and I am struggling to know the best way to be there for him. In the past, I’ve tried my absolute best to be steady as a rock when he begins to feel upset, but lately, it seems there are more days where he is stressed and anxious than when he is his usual self. I’m not trying to “fix” him but I do wonder if there is a different or more helpful way for me to be there for him when he needs extra support. Any advice is welcome, thank you!
