Oh god. Being where your girlfriend is, and also having a bf with anxiety who doesn’t open up, I would say that you need to open up. Don’t view it as you dumping on her or feeling like you have to keep it together for her sake.

It helps me when my bf is vulnerable, because it gives me permission to open up about everything as well. It helps me by giving me someone else’s “problem” to fix; I find so much satisfaction in that, and it takes my mind off of the negatives surrounding treatment. It helps me feel like I’m not alone in this really sucky situation, and that we are on the same page.

Tell yourself that you are doing a service to your gf when you open up, too.
