The Letter My Husband Wrote for Me to Read When I'm Anxious

I am a huge romantic. My husband is my rock and has stood by my side through my depression and anxiety. My usual response when I have a panic attack or depressive episode is to call him and calm down with his help. He wrote me this letter to help me when I couldn’t get through to him. I think it is one of the kindest things anyone has
ever done for me. I wanted to share as a thank you to him.

Morning Sweetheart,

I know you may be a touch apprehensive right now, but I can assure you that you will do wonderfully today. I know you find it hard sometimes. You get stressed and feel a great weight upon you, but I know you can get through it because you are my Jane. You are a smart, creative, kind and inspiring woman. I loved you when I married you, and I love you more with every passing moment. Take big breaths. Drink lots of water. Have a really good day, sweetheart, and I’ll give you hugs when you get home. I love you.

I would recommend a similar gesture if your loved one is struggling. I think this is one of my most prized possessions, and I know they would really appreciate it. Giving all of you my love.
