Supporting a loved one struggling with anxiety can be challenging, but it's crucial to be patient and understanding. It's important to educate ourselves about anxiety to empathize better and provide a safe space for them to express their feelings.

Finally, practice self-care and set boundaries to ensure we're taking care of ourselves while supporting our loved one. Remember, helping someone with anxiety is a journey, and your support can make a significant difference.
