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.

i am 15 years old & i have suffered from an anxiety disorder for a little over 2 years now & have been on medication since last summer to treat both my panicking and my depression, i can strongly say both have been getting better over the months & i just recently upped my dose so generally i've been alright. however, problems with my long-distance boyfriend of 7 months have been arising lately due to some increased issues with my anxiety, he's always been very supportive of me & i tend to go to him whenever i'm not feeling well to lean on him for support since i don't have many other resources to rely on & he's very caring & understanding of me & loves me very much. however, occasionally, when i call him & i'm crying & struggling to breathe & talk in general, he tends to get very mad & lose his patience with me, stating he's "tired of this". in these occasions i tend to panic more, putting myself down for making him feel this way, & eventually i'm left to resolve my issues on my own. i can't blame him for getting annoyed at me when i constantly push my problems on him; he tells me he cares about me & sometimes i need to learn how to handle my issues on my own or go to another friend for help, which scares me because i struggle to support myself + i don't have anyone else who truly cares like he does. i know he's right but i just don't know what to do or how to deal with this & i'm scared of what will happen if i don't fix my issue for him.
You have the support of this site. My heart goes out to you, your so brave dealing with this all on your own. Your boyfriend might b just overwhelmed. Try write down your thoughts your feelings just even to get them out of your system. You can even tear up these pages when finished. Try keep conversation light with boyfriend. I know u must feel like that's hard but even keep conversation short. I know u might want to burst out but u could try that here or in a diary. Or maybe counselling. Never think that your on your own because your not. Don't try keeping it in get them out of your system and let them go. Even if the same feelings and thoughts keep coming. Just release them and let them go. Mindful medication is great for anxiety and there's lots of this on the internet try a few till you find a few that gives u even some comfort and try keep doing them. Hoping u feel better soon.
