Fish, how do you deal with friends and family members who have anxiety? Someone dear in my life has struggled with it all his life, but unfortunately it frequently leads to (for lack of a better word) a lot of dickish and controlling behavior. How much slack do you cut someone when you know this is a disorder they suffer from? (I should add that this person is both keenly aware of their disorder and stubbornly refuses to get treatment).

As someone who also suffers from anxiety, it's not an excuse for poor behavior to the point that you're asking this. Yes, it's really tough, but you can't just put all your frustrations/anger onto others. It's their own mental health, not about else's.
