How Do You Help Your Partner With Their Anxiety?

I have dealt with depression before, but not anxiety in a partner. What are some ways people make you feel supported when going through your own anxiety? How might I be able to help my girlfriend?

Speaking as someone with anxiety I'd say just be there and try to understand that anxiety can stop us doing everyday things that people without anxiety take for granted.
Usually I talk them down and just have them focus on breathing and physically comfort them. You being there and saying it will be okay is calming and reassuring.

I made him go to the doctor and get help that could not give

I listen as long as they need. Then when asked for any advice I break down the issues into parts. Things we have control over and things we don’t. Then work on possible solutions and tools for managing the left over anxiety.
