Anxiety is going to ruin my relationship

Postby Leah09 » Tue Sep 26, 2017 8:28 am

This is my first time to post to something like this. Iv been in a complete state of panick, worry, nervousness the past few weeks.
The thought came into my head one day "what if you don't love him as much as you say" reguarding my boyfriend, might I add he is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I know I love him and just please remeber that when you read on. That thought came and went when I looked at a few pictures of us and felt reassured i did love him and I laughed it off. It happend again a few weeks later and again I laughed it off.

Everything was fine up until I had that thought again this time I couldn't get it to go. I started to panick and overthink everything. What if I don't love him? What If I have to end things and that's when all my problems started. I can't sleep, eat, I feel nervous and anxious to talk to him and see him. I know I love him and I keep telling myself that but I can't seem to get the thoughts to go. I told him everything and being as amazing a person he is he told me everything will be okay. It got worse and I was forced to tell my parents, they told me it's fine the honey moon phase is over and you won't be all loved up All the time and I believed them. But I still couldn't get rid of the nerves and worry and anxiety. I can't loose him he is my everything, I care about him so much. Everything got worse and I broke down to a friend in work and told her everything. She told me this will now go away unless I get help so I did . That day I went to my doctor and broke down and told him everything. He told me I had anxiety and depression and prescribed me antidepressants. I took them for two days and felt amazing, back to myself again and excited to see my boyfriend. I know this had to be the placebo effect because anti depressants don't work this quickly. But it didn't last long anyway about a week after I woke up during the night with severe heart palpitations and woke my boyfriend up with fright. He was there for me and comforted me. It all started again from there. But now I feel nothing when I look at him, empty and terrified because I can't loose him I just can't please someone tell me this has happened you and I will be okay. We have talked about marriage and kids and I can't see myself with anyone else but him. I feel like I'm loosing my mind. I thought about ending it all but that would mean I would still be loosing him in a way and I thought of how he would feel if I wasn't here. I'm back on the antidepressants now the last 3 days and Iv come off my contraceptive pill as I did a lot of research and found that a lot of women on my pill ended up with depression and anxiety as part of side effects. Hopefully someone can give me some person experiences and let me know I'm not the only one. I won't give up I can't because I can't loose him he's the best thing that's ever happened me I'm gonna stick it out and wait for my feelings to "switch" back on I know how stupid that sounds but it's my only hope

Just to add to this, from reading a lot of other people's posts with similar problems a lot of them say they don't even want their partner to touch them or cuddle them where as I do, I still cuddle him and want to hug him and he comforts me, when I wake up during the night panicking even if I have that numb feeling I will still roll over and cuddle him because I want to and I love him so much

I've never been in a long-term relationship but I think I can still offer some insight on this. Recently I got a rude awakening. I was doing drugs, which made me become friends with the wrong kind of people. And because of the drugs I was in a state of obliviousness.

Today I woke up. I've been acting so stupid and so irresponsibility but now I'm paranoid. I stopped the drugs, but I'm living in a state of fear and I literally think people are planning to kill me.

But I suppose that's what happens when you let your life slide and you get involved in drugs and the wrong people. My senses are alert but I just don't know what to do. I've seen the worst society has to offer.

But I learned just how cold the world is. And I have no one to turn to. I'm honestly thinking about calling the crisis line because of my paranoia. You can leave your boyfriend if you want to, but look at the alternative. I've been used. I've been disgraced. The withdrawal from the drugs is overwhelming, and that's what happens to people who stray from good relationships.

I'm so sorry you have to go through this,
Iv made an appointment to see a therapist because I'm not going To give up I know what I want and I'm going to work for it.
I think calling the crisis line cause be the best thing for you get help and as much of it as you can.
You say you have nobody to talk you, I don't know much about your situation but you can talk to me.
I hope your situation gets better I really do x
