Did you have a chance to read this comment I posted on my thread about my friends wife and what 'support' looks like?
Quote:
His example: He was stuck, drinking, playing video games and basically not doing anything to find a job because his self esteem was in the crapper. She basically sits him down with a notepad and some ideas on places they could live where he could find a job, and they start coming up with the pro's and con's of these places. She helps put together an 'action plan' and they start moving towards a goal.
He was resistant at first, but she was enthusiastic and wasn't going to let him just walk away from the discussion. Then SHE followed up with some of the actions needed.
This is so much in sync with the stuff I posted yesterday about people who get stuck in anxiety and how they need to be shown that they DO have some control over their life so they can pull themselves out of it.
