*How to love someone with anxiety after going insane from carrying the entire mental load while they refuse to get help.
These tips actually work for most loved ones.
Beautiful, society is healing
This brings to mind the highly underrated movie Stuart Saves His Family. Surviving toxic people is hard, but it’s even harder for anyone with anxiety disorders.
Anything you say, do, or express interest in, can and will be used against you.
Never tell them what you want. Only be passive aggressively pissed off when they don’t do it.
Ow.
Hey, it’s a list of my ex husbands favorite tips and tricks!
Did you know that “square breathing” exercises are not helpful when someone’s yelling at you to do them?
I’m sorry to hear about your bastard ex husband. The only thing that’s really helped my anxiety is drugs. I’m guessing you’ve tried that though. Square breathing never really worked for me. Hope things are better now.
Repeat yourself? Why?
I’m confused.

Wow my ex must’ve taken this post to heart
I don’t mind pacing. Partly as I do it
My father must have written that list from the pinewood box he’s in.
I had to check the sub. I was loading the proverbial shotgun. You got me OP. :)

Have you ever tried gaslighting someone?
That shit isn’t as easy as they make it sound.
Nearly everyone gets gaslit if you try, what do you mean?
Gaslighting? I’m pretty sure the term you’re looking for is gaslamping. Don’t worry, it’s a pretty common mistake for people to make.
Oh my god! I can’t believe OP mistook gaslighting for gaslamping… I thought that that was one of those mistakes nobody does anymore.
are you sure it’s gaslamping? last i heard gaslamping is a term for when you start making random shit into gas lamps for no particular reason, seems to be a weird anomalous quality of certain post industrialized human societies.
That’s because the real term is gas-lamping, not gas-lighting. The term was invented around the Victorian period where the primary source of lighting were gas-lamps.
that shit isn’t as easy as they make it sound.
Yeah it is. You must be remembering it wrong.
I get annoyed when my wife uses that term every time I disagree with her.
The secret is persistence.
There’s no such thing as gaslighting. You’re making it up because you’re paranoid that everyone’s out to get you.
Are you gaslighting me into thinking no one is ever gone gaslight me so it’s easier for your co conspirator to gaslight me in the future? I’m not making things up! People are up against me and your comment is proof!
What are you talking about? It’s super easy you idiot.
