Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
My boyfriend is studying college in another city, so I can only see him in holidays and some weekends when he is able to come... He came home yesterday so I think I'll be seeing him today, which is great... I missed him so much, he is amazing, the only one I trust and very understanding and supportive about my anxiety/self-harm and other issues. But this time I'm feeling very anxious about meeting him again, like I don't know how to react, uhmm... damn, this is hard to explain.
With my other friends I keep a rather superficial relationship, he is currently the only one who really knows me and accepts me anyway. So after some time without this "emotional intimacy" with anyone, I'm excited but also kindda frightened of getting that back.
Finally, he will want to catch up with mmy life and stuff, and lately I've been struggling with OCD, my eating disorder, depression, anxiety and of course, self injury a little more... It makes me really anxious to talk about that kind of things, having to explain why, and knowing that he worries about me too..
Does anybody ever feel like this?

Does anybody ever feel like this?
My fiance lives a few states away and we barely get to see each other. We spent 40 days apart recently, which was the longest time we've ever been away from each other.
It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do and when he was finally here, I felt a little bit distant from him.
I didn't want to touch or kiss because in a way I felt like I didn't really know this person anymore. It was an absolutely horrible feeling, and to be honest it took a few days to get used to being around him again.
I think it's something that normally comes with being an anxious person. It was a situation I was a little bit unsure about and it was hard to get through it because of my anxiety.
I wish you the best with your relationship in the future, and make sure to talk about anything that is bothering you with him.
Best,
Andrea
Please send your soul-friend -- unless you have already seen him this time -- a small msg. About your nervousness, the nervousness you spam of.
It will help everything. . :)
