Having Anxiety While In A Relationship

[OmiRen]

Hi! I've been suffering from mild anxiety for a good bit of my life, but a year or so ago it got much worse and much more intense. I'm trying to cope with it the best I can, but I am also in a relationship. He is very understanding even though he himself has never had anxiety, and he very much wants to help. However, it can get very overwhelming for him and I feel like I have trouble balancing things so he can still be there for me, but doesn't feel stressed about it all the time and doesn't feel guilty when he's not there to help me through something. I know he wants me to be open about everything with him, but I also know he feels bummed and stressed when he's over and I'm having a panic attack or crying or feeling out of sorts, even though he tries not to let it get to him. Any advice on the matter?

Get a good therapist, so you have someone to talk to who can actually maybe help.  If you have friends, especially old ones, and family, use them, too.  That way you won't be overrelying on just one person so much.
