Any Advice/Input/Thoughts About This?

My gf has said that she hasn't felt like herself at all for a while, a few weeks now. She says she feels off, counts the minutes til the next class or event in the day, can't sit still, feels restless. She wakes up a few times every night for a short while and then goes back to sleep. I'm not sure how else to help her or if anyone else has felt this way and has any info that could help. I'm kinda worried for her.

Have you asked her why? Like what's been on her mind?

@GlitterBug Yes and she says she's not sure about that either, Just that she feels restless and not like herself.

🤔 She's gotta be thinking about something, maybe she's reluctant to share what it is? Could be stress or anxiety though. I'd suggest she does things that calm her, like reading or tea or whatever she personally enjoys. Otherwise I'm not sure I can be of much help.

@GlitterBug She does deal with anxiety a lot. She's a senior in college, on her last semester. Probably unsure about next steps and things like job security. Her older sister just got engaged so that's probably putting pressure on her - her parents and older siblings are either married or are gonna be married, all did it at our age. Even her best friend from home got engaged over New Years. Taking walks seems to help her but we can't do that cuz it's cold and snowy.

You probably have it spot on there. My advice would be to treat her right and support her, the rest will work itself out with time. Maybe ask her about these things, see how they're weighing on her. Ask her about her thoughts on them. Ask if you can do anything to help. @InvictusIndigo
