fidgetymo

i spent 11 months travelling through china and south east asia and even picked up a chinese girlfriend who i supported for 7 of those months.. and i probably only spent 6 to 7 grand.

i could have done it cheaper too.

In my personal experience: Be available. Supportive but not overbearing. Remain calm. Remind them of things they can do that are personally comforting to them. For me, it's playing guitar - it helps because it shifts my focus from panic rhythm to musical rhythm that I am engaged with.
