I have terrible anxiety, abandonment, and anxious attachment issues. This has been the doom of all my relationships so far, including my most recent break up. No one can take my intensity, and my anxious type makes them more avoidant. It’s terrible really. I commend you for sticking with him. I’m sure he appreciates that.
Speaking as someone with anxiety, it’s really wonderful to hear you want to go the extra mile and support your spouse unconditionally.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any book recos, I’ll keep an eye out on what others post.
I also have really bad anxiety and it’s great that you’re being so supportive of your partner! One that I’m reading now that I really like is Calm the F*** Down by Sarah Knight. It has a really light tone and there’s some cursing but it’s pretty spot on for me a lot of times. Another one is Rewire Your Brain by John B. Arden. It’s more technical and it teaches you a lot not just about coping with intrusive thoughts but also why you have them. Hope you find this useful!
