I have had an extremely bad realtionship for a year and a half with my fiance. it has been up and down since we got engaged. My family thinks that he is the one causing my miserable state. I dont really know if it is my bad relationship that brought on my anxiety or what is bound to surface anyway? I wonder if my realtionship would be different if i didnt have anxiety. I wonder if i have caused problems because of my anxiety. and my family doesnt help beacuse everythime we fight they know because i live at home and then when i am not home cause i went back to him I have to like hide it and i feel guilty and ashamed for going back to him. and sometimes i cant stand him but the thought of being without him brings tears to my eyes. we used to be extremly happy and i wonder that if i get over anxiety will things go back to normal? I just started the program today so I really am confused. I dont even know why I worry or what I am worried about. I havent felt myself in a year and a half and i really dont even know why. is it my realtionship or am i just a person suffering with anxiety and if i didnt have it then i would feel normal? somebody help cause i am so lost. thanks

I'm glad you are starting the program. I think it will really help you.
Sometimes we can't answer the questions about why we have anxiety - the trick is to learn to control it. You will learn a lot about yourself in the program, and it will likely help you make the life decisions you are facing.
Good luck to you!

Suffering with an anxiety disorder can really put major strain on your relationships. Whether or not it's your relationship that's causing IT or IT causing your relationship troubles, that is to be only something you can determine.
One thing is for sure, It is NEVER our situation that causes our anxiety... it is our REACTION to the stress we feel inside that leads to our anxiety.
I think if you and your fiance' still love eachother then you both need to hang in there until you get this anxiety situation controlled.
Sometimes anxiety has no other cause than "too much stress".
We can overanalyze things which can further aggrivate anxiety. So be careful not to overanalyze.
Journaling can help determine if there is something else bothering you. Give yourself some peaceful time each day to reflect on what you are truly feeling.
