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...

Anxiety

I definitely fall victim to anxiety here and there. Today, right now I am ok but my anxiety tends to kick in the most when i think about relationships. I am so terrified of being truely happy in a relationship ot that someone could actually want to be with me I have in the past self sabotaged good relationships. I tell myself if I mess it up now it wont hurt as bad when they leave because they were going to leave at some point anyway.

Hi- After my break up with my past boyfriend, it was hard for me to trust someone again. I prayed that if it is Lord’s will for me to get into another relationship then His will be done. I met someone, he understands my past and was patient with me. I thought our relationship would not last but we dated for 5 years then got married. He is now my husband for almost 24 years.

I hope you will be able to trust again because trust is important in any relationship. It maybe difficult but through prayers, we can make it. I pray that things will work for you and you will overcome anxiety. Please keep us posted, God bless.

Hello, Brittany. Welcome to the forum.

My own relationship anxiety is broad enough to qualify as social anxiety. I can agonize as deeply over my relationship with a stranger on a bus as I agonize over my relationship with my husband. Social anxiety is a bear. It makes it somewhere between difficult and impossible to see the person I am talking to more clearly than I see my fears and anxieties.

But that is me. . .

Gentle support while you sort your own. Welcome aboard. Listening. . .

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
