*How to love someone with anxiety after going insane from carrying the entire mental load while they refuse to get help.
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.
My father must have written that list from the pinewood box he's in.
Beautiful, society is healing
Repeat yourself? Why?

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.
Wow my ex must've taken this post to heart
So this is the guide my parents used
I know many people who handled it just fine, it must be a you problem. You probably misunderstood them most of the time. I'm sure they just wanted the best for you. A friend of mine handled it just fine and turned out a better person than most. Really, you must be overreacting to something that was probably just discipline. Surely, they wished the best for you and tried to build your character.

Wow, that's some exceptional train of thought stuff.
Ouch. AF.
You’re just ungrateful.
Yeah... i started tensing up halfway through reading this.
Been out of the house for 20 years, things have never changed.
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.
I have ADD, and my partner has GAD. I always feel bad about the pacing. 90% of the time, I've lost my train of thought/ something. I noticed if I say, "I'm fine; I'm just looking for something.", it helps a lot. She describes them as "frantic footsteps". I can understand why that would freak people out.
I could be wrong but I think the pacing referred to in this post is a physical manifestation of impatience.
These tips actually work for most loved ones.
Ow.
"Pace around for no fucking reason" this sounds hilarious, it would even irritate people without anxiety.
For me, its not that it would be irritating, but rather spike my anxiety and makee very uncomfortable, a feeling of being unsafe moreso than irratation
I had to check the sub. I was loading the proverbial shotgun. You got me OP. :)
Honey? .... is ... is that you? .... I'm sorry
