yooo this year has been weird for me too like y'know it was good but it wasn't all good but idk 2018 isn't a year i'm gonna look back on and go oh yep that was a ripper year u feel
@ raja sahara we were initially going to have the party outside in the backyard, but since it’s so cold lately, we’re going to have the party indoors. c:
aw, poor guy. :( anxiety does isolate you, it’s awful. or maybe ask him if he’s like to talk about it or vent to you. i find that helps me a lot. c: hope he feels a bit better soon!
@ dawn of light omg I saw your comment on it and died, thank youuuu and yeah that seems to be the consensus answer here. I just hope he knows that. I think he does.
@ alexander bernadotte omg did you guys have outdoor plans that day??? I love the rain tbh unless I gotta be out in it Oooo okay, I do try to make sure I'm not like GET OVER IT or "aw that sucks"-vague bullshit. I think he knows Imma be here I just don't want him to go through it alone, which he feels like he has to. He told me it's his problem so he'll deal with it
it was FREEZING in vegas lately, too! it's my brother's birthday next week and we're 100% sure it's going to rain bc that's just vegas. Dx
as for your gentleman friend (boyfriend? friend? sorry. x]), my best advice is to be there for him. make sure that he knows that his feelings of anxiety are valid and that's it's okay to be anxious and just, idk, ride out this anxiety wave with him. i deal with anxiety, too, and i haaate it when people demean me for having anxiety about something that wouldn't cause them anxiety, if that makes sense.
i already recc'd your new story. so excited to see where it goes! :D
I wish I had some better advice but like said below, being there for him and being understanding are one of the things you can do! I know you’re always supportive too!!!
@ VixL Honestly, that's what I'm trying to do! I just hope he knows that I get it and that he can trust me to still be here through all of it. But thank you!!!!
As someone who deals with anxiety, I'd just say try to understand. The fact that you understand is the best type of medicine for him. Be there for him and if he needs to take time, than he'll take time. There's no real way to handle mental health, it seems sometimes because everyone has their own processes. But if you feel like you need to step in and break his barriers, you'll know. Until then, just keep being supportive. <3 Los Angeles sounds like a LOT of fun!! I hope you guys have a good time!
oh me too, like it wasn't as bad as 2017 (that was truly a shit year) but it was just strange
