Anxiety issues in according to relationships!

[caring guy]

Hi

I suffer from Anxiety, general anxiety disorder (GAD). Everyone i talk too medicaly, my Psychiatrist, my CPN, my weekly counceling sessions say that selfishness, jealousy, inpatience,insecurity, certain codependencys & certain obsessivenesses are connected with Anxiety. Fact!!.

I know my issues & am talking them out slowly.

I am a loving affectionate & attentative guy that chose my username, because i am.

But sometimes, certain examples of the above symptoms creep in & can & have ruined or come close to ruining relationships that start perfectly well.

A bit like the dark side in StarWars, that to me is a good analogy. I think about it, know what i should & shouldn't do, but occasionaly, it happens!

 

Does anyone get me or am i mad:D !!

Any experiences would be appreciated to share.

nope i know exacaly what u are saying - i just recently saw a therapist due to my own fears and anxiety - i knew i had to do something cause i am 5 mths into a realtionship with a wonderful man and i can see my anxiety creeping intoo my relationship and i dont want to let it take control. The only thing im struggling with now is i told him i went and now im embarassed - i dont want him to feel he is with a girl with majoy issues and can be with someone else who is "normal" - just anxiety i guess

I guess it's 5 months in & your both together & if he's as wonderful as you say, he'l be cool. I know i would be with anyone who said that to me, but then again i know about anxiety & panic situations. My ex said that she dosn't want to be with anyone with anxiety or panic attacks, i guess that was her choice, there was no contract, but it hurt. If she said she had cancer, i wouldn't up & run, i'd be there.

I've tryed to not be embarassed about telling people. It is the best thing in the end or way down the line it hurts more if they reject you.

You did the right thing darl & "normal", i don't think thats a very good word because everyone has issues.

Take care

I'm feeling realy bad about my situation. Due to wanting to be in a relationship, & feeling lonely & wanting for affection, i'm playing with the feelings of someone. Someone that is nice, we agreed to take it slowly, no bf/gf yet, just seeing each other. We have had sex, she doesn't know i get anxiety & am codependent, she's younger than me & keeps texting me, but i'm not sure about it! There's someone else i like, i guess more, & am waiting for her responce as she says will have dinner with me on her return from a trip. She's not as pushy & is my age!

I'm doing what i wouldn't want done to me & feel sh*t.
