My partner knows I struggle with my anxiety but hasn't offered much support tbh half the time I feel like I deal with it on my own. Today I could of done with speaking to somebody so spoke to her about it, she listens but doesn't offer any advice. My parents don't know what to say to help and I get the impression my sister just wants to avoid talking about the whole situation and how I'm feeling. My so called friends from work no longer check up on me.
Have you told her that you want her point of view and advice? Is this the first time you've really talked to her and told her how you are feeling?
When was the last time you called to check in on one of your friends? It goes both ways love.

What have you done this week to get out of the house?
What about keeping that mood diary I've suggested a few times?
Or downloaded an app such as headspace?
What about used one of the helplines either by phone such as the Samaritans or by text such as shout?
