Me (22f) and my girlfriend (22f) both have anxiety, but hers is probably way worse. She has regular panic attacks and I have difficulty knowing how to help, especially when I can’t be with her.

She’s having a particularly bad one right now, and I feel so helpless because I can’t drive over to her right now. I feel like I’m trapped while she’s suffering, and it’s absolutely awful.

Are there any ways I can help her calm down from here? I’m worried about her

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for a couple months now (yes, I realize now that that isn’t much time) and we’ve been getting along VERY well. We’ve both met each other’s parents, and she’s stayed over at my house a bunch of times.

The other day we were driving together, and I realized how badly I wanted to say I loved her. Last night I actually said it. And she didn’t feel the same way.

In my defense, I’ve never told anyone that first, and don’t have much relationship experience.

She said she’s fine and that I didn’t make things awkward, but I still feel so embarrassed and guilty. Like I’m rushing her into things. I don’t blame her at all, it was my fault. I’m just worried I hurt things between us.
