Hi. I'm hoping for a bit of advice. My girlfriend is currently really struggling with anxiety - so much so that is pushing me away and becoming very distant. We do not live together (she lives with family) and she does not like talking on the phone so I'm relying in texting at the moment. Up until a couple of weeks ago we would see each other most days and she would spend a lot of the week at mine, but she just cant bring herself to see me at the moment.
She has no become very distant and barely texts, she keeps pushing me away for various reasons which all lead back to her not understanding why I want to be with her, to me not being able to have a future with her etc, I possibly tried too hard and overdid the texting and sending of presents etc in a misguided attempt to help.
Basically what do I do to help? Hiw do I stope her pushing me away? I have no intention of walking away as others have done, I want to be there for her and help but I feel a bit lost. Do I just stop texting and give her space? Do I send a couple of texts a day just to say I'm here if she needs me? Text her about my day? Try to be funny? Send motivational memes etc. All advice will be greatly appreciated - thankyou
