I find that my partner almost does not know how to comfort me when I have panic attacks, which is nothing new cause we've been together for over 2 years.

He does not make an effort to understand it much either. He knows its a big issue for me and he helps me in the ways he can but not the ways I need. It helps me to talk about it and I was talking about one of my therapy sessions with him and he just complety changed the topic.

Is this normal? Maybe he does not realize it how much it effects me and makes me feel a bit small. Or perhaps I need to learn that other people can't fix it and make it all better.
