When someone suffers from anxiety, a million thoughts are running through their head 24/7, some can be very irrational but they can not help it. I am in love with someone with anxiety. I can simply look into his eyes and tell when he is stressed, nervous, happy, scared and many more, but the most I know how to do is be there for him.

Five months ago, that's when I feel in love, with this boy who treats me like I am his princess, as any boy should. I didn't know he suffered from anxiety when we first stated dating nor would I ever known if he hadn't told me. When I learned that, I went home that night and researched it, I wanted to know more about it so I could help if I needed to.

What hurts me the most is that all I can do is stand by him and help him, but al I want to do it take it away from him, so he doesn't have those thoughts all the time. I don't even fully understand everything that goes on in his mind every day but I try so hard and he knew that.

He is not his anxiety and his anxiety is not him. He is simply himself, and that's how I always look at him and anyone else that loves someone with anxiety needs to remember that. They may get scared of things that you think are so easy but you need to be there and help them. This does not define them, and it never will. People have disadvantages; some people can't walk, or hear, or see, or maybe they get nervous but they still deserve to be loved.

My boyfriend, he has the biggest heart of gold a boy could ever have, he loves me more than I ever imagined. To say he or anyone else with anxiety is "not worthy" of love for something as simple as this is wrong, I don't need reminding of that, but other people do. If you two are happy that is all that matters.

Being in love is one of the greatest things that can happen to you, and when you find that person, you have to hold on to them because they could be the one.
