Hi, everyone. My long distance boyfriend has an anxiety disorder. He has a lot of panic attacks and is suffering a lot because of it. I want to learn to be more supportive. I've looked through so many articles about dating and supporting someone with anxiety and those just sound so alike and don't have that much of advice. 

I'd really appreciate any advice from couples that are experiencing it together. 

Things I'm interested in :

- what are the key things I should know about anxiety disorder to better understand what my partner goes through 
- what do you do when a panick attack happens 
- things that you find most helpful that your partner can do to help you when you are struggling with anxiety 
- any general tips or things that you've learned in your relationship that might help to prevent or ease anxiety 
- mistakes we should avoid
