So interesting as my daughter suffers from anxiety its very hard to understand it if you don't suffer from it as a father I try but it really gets to me sometimes

I see a lot of advice for supporting people with anxiety, but not much recognition of how hard it is to live with someone who's suffering from it. It may be just because I tend to rely on reason quite a lot, but it was the irrationality of it that really got to me. There's no reasoning with someone who's severely anxious. You can see that their worries are totally unreasonable, but anxiety doesn't listen to reason. You have my sympathy. x
