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 fianc and I have had a long distance relationship for about 2 years. After waiting for things to work out for him to move back he finally did about a month ago.It has been hard to adjust though. I miss my time alone. He is always there. He works from home.
I try to keep busy and see friends and family so things feel normal to me. I just can't shake the anxious feeling. We have had a few normal arguments that I turned into huge arguments in my head. I worry that if we disagree we should break up. I know that is not true but that has become a huge worry for me. (I hate arguing with ANYONE).
When we lived together before things weren't great and when he found out he had to move I had panic attacks daily. Since then we had grown as a couple he understands I'm sensitive and know when he is joking more. I'm just so worried things will go back the way they were but we arn't those people.
Before he came back my anxiety was pretty much under control. The only thing left was not taking blame if people are upset with me. That is a big part of how I feel now but some of the other anxiety came back also. I feel like I went backwards.
Also we are planning our wedding and making payments on things. That is very stressful. And he started a new buisness so he is under a lot of stress and not sleeping much.
Please help I need to stop worrying I KNOW this is anxiety and not my relationship I just need to be reminded that it is anxiety. I can't see my therapist for 2 weeks and haven't seen her for about a month.

But we both know and believe in what we are together and when this happens we both recognize anxiety is screwing with us and we always remember who we actually are and what we mean to eachother really.
What you and your partner need to do is recognize the need to give eachother space. Have faith in what you mean to eachother and see that the other needs this time apart to come to terms with their own demons alone.
Both myself and Brit both suffer with this sucker and we both know what we are going through individually and together we work as a single unit but this unit needs both of us good to work and even with our bond we know that anxiety being as individual as we are as two people can only by resolved by that person even if the other is there for support.
If your partner has suffered with anxiety he will understand this and if he hasnt make him.
There is nothing wrong with facing your demons alone and it does NOT mean that your relationship is in danger.
But anxiety WILL trick you into thinking it is.
DONT LET IT THERE IS NO NEED.
Brit and Steve
He is wonderful though and truly is supportive. He doesn't understand panic but has made an effort to be there for me.
Smiles I am glad you got this, have faith in what you guys have ok and you will make it.
Your partner cant fix you persay, only you can do that but he can lead you to the right path but it is up to you to travel it.
Good luck
