I never had anxiety up until about 2 months ago when a man came into my life and brought out the worst in me! He was negative, possessive, controlling, ignorant, rude, nasty...the list goes on. He beat me up emotionally and as I type this I am realizing that before he came into my life, I only had the depression and very rarely, panic attacks. I started getting the panic attacks everytime I didn't think a relationship was working out. (pathetic, i know) But I didn't grow up with my dad, so its a psychological thing.
Anyway..This negative guy is who gave me this anxiety! How could I let it get that way?! I don't understand!!!
He made me think so less of myself and I NEVER thought that about myself. I had to question my OWN opinions about myself that I was so sure of, until he arrived! I didn't know someone could really tear you down that bad!!!
So where is it that I went wrong?!?!

But seriously he was probably like that as he was insecure himself, by putting you down probably made him feel better is some strange way. But the key to getting over him is to just forgive and forget and not hold grudges against him, by holding a grudge you are just prolonging the agony. As for the anxiety, you are over analysing the situation. Hold you head high and forget about him
I had an ex-boyfriend that was just like that. He was very controlling, possessive, and mean. His personality went up and down like that, one minute nice, the next not. We dated for 4 years on and off until the relationship ended in 2003. Right after we broke up is when I first started experiencing major anxiety and some panic attacks. I don't know if it was the constant emotional rollercoaster I had endure or the fact that I was used to being controlled for so long and now I wasn't.
I have a great boyfriend now that I've been dating since 2004 but unfort. still have the anxiety and panic attacks that he has to deal with.
