Hi! How do you talk to your partner about your anxiety without draining them? I’ve read some posts on other platforms that there are people who can’t keep up their partners’ mental instability, and that they feel drained and it’s affecting them. 

On the other hand, my partner highly encourages me to talk to him and discuss it so he could reassure me in some way. This week alone I’ve had like 3 anxiety attacks and none he knows about. After reading these aforementioned posts, I’m really scared opening up to my partner and I’m trying not to be too overbearing with this because I know he got things going on too.


I’d also like to note that I also talk to some of my friends about my anxiety and that I am already seeking help, so he wouldn’t be alone as my only support system.
