Reenie Lillya month agoMy girlfriend (25F) and I (26M) have been together for nearly two years. She’s always been a confident, easygoing person, but recently, she’s been acting quite differently. Last week, she had heart palpitations that worried her, and ever since, she’s been convinced there’s something seriously wrong with her health. Despite going to the hospital, having blood tests, and being checked by doctors, they’ve assured her that she’s completely healthy and it’s likely related to anxiety or stress. Now, every day she messages or calls me, upset and crying, convinced that there’s something new wrong with her. It started with her thinking she was having a heart attack, then she worried about dizziness, ear blockage, vitamin deficiencies, and other health issues. Sometimes she even feels unsupported by her family or thinks she might be pregnant. Each day brings a new worry, and she gets extremely stressed over it, making it hard for me to know what to say or do. I’m trying to support her, but it’s starting to feel overwhelming. When we went out for New Year’s, she was fine at first, but during dinner, she started to panic. She kept going outside to get fresh air and mentioned she hadn’t been eating properly. The next morning, she was refusing to get out of bed and begged me to call an ambulance. I did, and the medic confirmed there was nothing wrong with her. Today, she’s at the hospital with her family again, convinced there’s something wrong inside her chest. I don’t know how to help anymore, and I feel like I’m just repeating myself. I want to be there for her, but it’s starting to strain the relationship. How can I help her without feeling resentful or overwhelmed?139
