Anxiety WV

Today has been a long day. Every time you tried to pull yourself out of this slump it only got worse. You've had anxiety for years now and have tried every way possible to deal with it. You've always had to deal with it on your own until you met Wilhelmina.

At first, she was a little confused by your sudden mood swings or quiet moments. Once you explained what was going on she's been trying every way possible to make you feel better in these moments.

You typically didn't like to be a bother and were scared you'd one day become an annoyance to her so you tried all day to stick it out on your own. You've done it before this shouldn't be a problem. But as the day got darker and your chest tightens more and more your body ached for comfort. The kind of comfort only Mina could provide you with.

Quietly walking to the home office you knocked softly waiting for her to respond.

"Come in," she calls.

You opened the door to see your girlfriend working on some files. You really didn't want to bother her. But your feet had a mind of their own as you walked over to her standing by her chair.

She rolls her chair back before looking up at you with a smile.

"Hi, my love."

"Hi," you whispered.

Mina frowns "Are you alright?"

You shake your head as the tears you tried so hard to keep at bay pour out of your eyes.

"What's wrong sweetheart?"

Instead of answering her, you crawled into her lap resting your head on her shoulder as you cried. Mina wraps her arms around holding you tight in her embrace.

"I'm sorry." you sobbed.

"For what darling?"

"B..bothering you." you stuttered in between your heavy sobs.

"I know you're busy. And...I tried. I tried all day to deal with this on my own. But I couldn't do it anymore. I'm sorry."

Mina shakes her head "Shh..little one. Let's just focus on your breathing first and then we will talk okay?"

You nod your head as you listen to her instructions.

"Place your hand on my heart."

You do as she says resting your hand softly on her chest.

"Good girl. Breathe in and breathe out. In.....and out."

You follow her taking deep breaths in and releasing them slowly.

"You're doing so good baby. One more time for me. In.....and out."

Once you were done you settled down but your hand still clings to her shirt. She allows you a moment to relax kissing you softly on your temple and whispering how much she loves you.

Once your body relaxes she speaks.

"Y/n I want you to listen to be okay? I want you to really hear what I'm about to say."

You tense once more before nodding your head.

"Any time you feel anxious or upset you come to me. I don't care what time it is, I don't care what I'm doing, I don't care who I'm with. You come to me. You're so strong and I love that about you. But it's okay to need help sometimes and that's what I'm here for love. You do the same for me. You're strong. You're safe. And you're not a bother to me. Do you understand?"

You nod your head as more tears roll down your cheeks.

"Look at me, baby."

You raise your head looking at her. She smiled leaning in to kiss your lips.

"I love you very much. And I want you to know you can always come to me. You're the most important thing in my life. Please don't ever think you're anything less."

"I love you too. Thank you," you whispered.

"No need for thanks, love. How about we take a bath and then head off to bed?"

"I'd like that." you smiled.

"Me too. Come on. I'll add some lavender in the tub to relax you and then once we're in bed we can cuddle okay?"

"Okay."

She smiles as you get up off her lap and help her to her feet. Once she was up you pulled her into another hug.

"I love you, Mina. And I know you said not to thank you...but thanks. I've always had to do this alone and it's hard to remember that now I don't have to. Thank you for making me feel safe and loving me even though this is annoying."

"It's not annoying. I hate that you feel like this every day and if I could take your pain and anxiety away I would in a heartbeat. All I want is for you to be happy. So you're welcome. And thank you for loving me as well." she says kissing you.

"It's not hard to love you." you smiled.

"Back at you little one."
