My SO gets super anxious when she's away. We think it's a mix of anxiety about being away from home, fear of getting sick away from home and feeling trapped in a place that she can't easily leave.

It can lead to a type of anxious frenzy where she feels physically frantic and desperate to come home.

She's just arrived for a week-long work trip to London, which I'm super proud of her for going on.

As soon as she landed she started getting anxious, and was not able to sleep much at all. She's already telling me she wants to come home and is looking at booking a flight. That's not really a wise career-move, and I really want to encourage her to stick it out.

What's the best way to support her? If she is feeling so terrible that it's simply unbearable, of course I want her to come home. But equally, I just want her to give it a shot for maybe just a few days, so she can find out if the anxiety might pass, and she could even start enjoying herself a little.

What's the line between being an enabler; "C*ome home, and I'll be here to take care of you"* (which I will) vs *"Give it a go, hopefully it will get better?".*

Thanks for any suggestions. Unfortunately, but not unexpectedly, these episodes also get me very down, as I worry a lot about how she's feeling, or upsetting her further with my 'encouragement' 😞.
