I’ve been with my girlfriend for 5 years and she is my world. She has always had slight anxiety but nothing that I could ever really see. She is in her last year of college and has a lot riding on her grades. She plans to go on to further education and needs to do well to ensure that. She always has been stressed about tests in the past but could get over it. About three months ago she was stressed out and had a health scare that I think triggered her current state. Since then she is always worried about her health and extremely stressed. She checks her heart rate constantly and just feels groggy. In the last week with finals upon us she is in an awful place. She can barely study with out feeling like she will pass out or thinking she is having a heart attack. She is at her breaking point and I’m not sure how much longer she can feet going. It’s so hard for me to watch because there is little I can do to help. Here is what I have tried some more successful than others: Just talk to her and reassure her it’s all okay, talk about different topics and try to distract her, get her a heart rate tracker to show her it’s all okay, make her a bath to relax, do meditation with her, offer help for anything she needs, listen to “anxiety relief” sound tracks, and just hold her and say nothing trying to comfort her. They work a little but in the last few days her anxiety has gone from making her unable to do anything for a hour or less to now it’s all day long. She is scared and tells me she knows it’s just anxiety but she can’t stop thinking she is having health problems. She says she doesn’t want to feel this way anymore and is so sick of it. We have talked about going to see someone and she doesn’t want to take medicine and feels bogged down, and doesn’t want to talk to someone about her feelings. I don’t think she would budge on the medication but if she went to see someone and they advised it I think she would maybe talk to someone. I’m sorry if this is breaking any rules or just be rabbling but I’m lost at what else I can do to help. I love her and want her to feel better and just thought you all could help me do so and make her be in a better place. Thank you in advance, if there are any questions or you need more info just comment and ask and I’ll provide. I hope I can figure something out soon ):
