Me, coming here to check in and make sure I'm being a good partner: :3 Also me, coming here and realizing I've heard all of these from my partner: -.-

[@kakeness]

I’ve been told “you’re crazy” so many times. I’m grateful you brought it up here.

?? Jeff ❣💖 I thought you were going to talk, or give one example on toxic positivity AKA: platitudes. This I hear the most. "You will be fine!! Everything will work out!".... Even , "You can do it!" 🤨.. can be bad, as people say it when not really listening and can shut you down. My mother is the queen of platitudes. 💥 Very invalidating to anything I say.

Anxiety and how to deal with it?

[@fleece9289]

I was told there was “no point worrying about it before you get the results” (fortunately benign.) I had a new baby and two toddlers at the time 😶. Crushed me.
