There is a thread about this but it hasn't been posted on for a little while so I've started this one...I suffer from anxiety amongst other things and I have gathered up my life and not let it stop me from living and doing things. I have been proud and whilst I still get anxiety I just live through it all and it has lessened a lot.I even went from not being able to leave my house to moving to a different country (third world country) to work and experience life and whilst it has been challenging I feel I am coping very well.. but WOW I have this problem of getting anxiety that I am falling out of love. This very thing wrecked my last relationship 6 years ago and I have been to scared to have another...
I have just fallen deeply in love here in my new country and been very happy and all of a sudden, I am panic stricken that I am falling out of love..(It's happening again...I don't believe it)I have not relyed on my new love for my anxiety issues as I thought this could have been one of the reasons for me feeling this way in my previous relationship... only 1 day ago I was so in love and happy with my partner and now it is like they have become a trigger for my anxiety and panic attacks and it makes me feel scared and it makes me feel guilty. I know I love this person so WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT.. I am so worried the thoughts will ruin my relationship and I have been so so happy ! I can't believe this is happening. I don't want to fall out of love...they mean so much to me...and I am scared...Why the Panic attacks, the sick feeling in my stomach and the guilt instead of pleasure when I see my partner??
PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING...
I really want reassurance and help NOT bad news stories. I don't want this to end the relationship. It is like I have a self destruct button for any time I feel happy???
