How can I explain my anxiety to my partner?

This is something that I can't even do myself. But I think it might be okay if you just talk casually to your partner and tell them what you feel truly.

Honesty is the key. In my opinion, the most important thing to remember in this situation is that your partner should be supportive towards you no matter what emotional/mental issues you're facing. If your partner decides they don't respect your struggle with anxiety, they're not worth being in a relationship with. You shouldn't view this as a test of your own communication skills, it's a test of their character. I think you just have to tell it to them clearly and truthfully that you have anxiety problems, and explain this in more personal detail if you feel that helps. If you're honest, they should love and support you no matter what. Your anxiety does not define you.

explaining anxiety is not easy but once you get the hang of it its great! I would start with "I get scared sometimes". This is not what anxiety is but to get them to understand this is simple for them. overtime I would share how anxiety makes me feel using "I feel" statements. I hope this helps!

Anxiety is like drowning underwater. you know where the surface is but you can't reach it. it strangles you and keeps you put. Sometimes panic attacks have the same affect! It can be hard and they may struggle to understand what it is that anxiety is and even describing it may not be helpful at the end of the day but if they love you enough they may begin to understand but one explanation will not do it justice. Even a year from now they still may struggle but at the end of the day your the one that truly needs to understand it to overcome it.

Being honest, truthful and open is the way into another person's heart and support. They would want to be as supportive of you as much as possible. And if they are not, then they are not worth staying with. If you put yourself into that person's shoes, then wouldn't you want the same? Isn't having an open relationship with support from each other most important besides love? What would be in the way of this when external attractions are no longer there? Therefore, whatever you have with yourself, can it be shared with another especially if you want them to love and care for you?

be true to them and don't lie tell them how you feel! if they really care about you they will help and try there best to make you feel better! in my own experience i could i trust him more and it brought us closer together. Be open and tell them everything you want them to know i promise you that you wont be disappointed or feel uncomfortable, Because i hear ya staying open with some people especially maybe if you are new to relationships or just not sure about the person. but building trust is a good healthy way to start a relationship! and hey maybe your partner feels the same but is just to scared to say it. It never hurts to gain a little trust!
