My partner is having a panic attack (?) of sorts, but its completely different to what ive experienced before and i dont know how to make it easier. Theyre experiencing numbness and unreality and keep seeing figures where they arent there. Ive tried to make them name things around them and feelings but they keep talking about being empty and scared and i just want them to be okay.
Fyi; were long distance so i cant physically be with them right now
Any advice is extremely useful, thank you
Our partner

Hey there- I wasn't sure why you'd placed this in BPD; however in moving it to Significant Others, I have retained a shadow link in BPD, so it will still be seen there, and followed here- is your partner BPD?
I've had anxiety numbness before, as well as panic attacks. and what's probably depersonalization/derealization. But seeing figures, that's... not something I recall doing a whole lot of.
Is it this time of year doing it to them, perhaps? How do they normally approach the holiday season? Have they given any indication as to an external trigger?

Tell someone you love them today, for Life is short. But scream it at them in Klingon, for Life is also terrifying and confusing.
We do not delete posts.
Let it go.
Without (forum) rules, we all might as well be up in a tree flinging our crap at each other.
