Don't give up.. A lot of people don't understand how debilitation something like anxiety can be... Sometimes the people we think are our support end up being trigger, I just got out of a relationship that was that way, only u can decide what's right for you, my advice is this... If u think u can deal with this long term then it's probably worth trying but if u know in your heart that u won't find peace in this relationship it might be best to leave before it gets worse, I can tell u have a big heart and I'm positive your not some bad person... Maybe in a bad situation or a bad environment for your particular struggle but I have no doubt your not a bad person... Message me if u need someone to talk to, I hope this helps u find a bit of peace...

No matter what he or his family says, you are not being ridiculous at all. Anxiety and any other disorder is just as real as a physical illness. I mean you even just showed the physical aspect of it. If he can't handle you, you deserve much better. If it's too much for him and brings him down, he's not a man. Don't give up on yourself or love. Sit there and focus on your breathing and slowing it down. I hope that you feel better.

Don't let him make you feel like it's your fault ...IT'S NOT!!!!! if he can't handle you at your worst he doesn't deserve you at your best ...... stay strong xo

you are not at fault a bit, it is the ignorant people who wont learn about the illness and judge who are wrong. anxiety is crippling, I have it also, and if he cant take how you are then you don't need him. I am sure the thought of not having him in your life is very scary, but the fighting and comments are increasing your anxiety. you are better then this and are fighting. do you see a doctor? there are meds out there that can help you. hgsss

I am really disappointed in those parents and disgusted with your boyfriend. I'm sorry but I have to be honest about how I feel. If he truly cared about you he would find a way to help you, not knock you down until you start blaming yourself for something that isn't your fault. He should be ashamed of himself. Please don't tolerate that treatment. Please! Hugs GB

Whoaaaaa! No, no, no. You are not a terrible person for having anxiety. I have had people, not many, try to make me believe the same thing and I am fairly grounded person and I give them the big 'ol screw you. Though I end up thinking about the things they said over and over and over and over. Does your boyfriend try to comfort you and try to understand? I know how relationships can be somewhat difficult for some of us who have anxiety, because it makes us feel like a burden on that other person, at least I feel that way sometimes and it's keeping me from pursuing a new relationship. You do what you think will be best for you. You don't need his parents' negativity in your life as your trying to work with yourself on overcoming your anxiety. If you need anything or just to talk, feel free to message me anytime!

Hugs

Dump him. Find someone that cares but doesn't enable.

Anxiety is a normal thing for many people and is something difficult to go through. You are not alone and you are not ridiculous. It may be hard for people who do not have anxiety to understand what it feels like. Have you explained to your boyfriend how you are feeling and what you are going through? Maybe that could be a step in a direction where he could help you through this tough spot in your life.

You are not alone! I have had anxiety for most of my life and am currently going through a flare up of it. Anxiety and its physical and emotional symptoms are uncomfortable and scary to deal with but you can overcome it! Millions of people go through exactly what you are going through right now. You have to recognize your warning signs, take deep soothing breaths and turn your negative self talk into positive talk. You are strong and you can overcome this!! Start writing down your negative thoughts, like in a journal and immediately right down a positive thought to every negative one. Try exercising everyday and I also like to meditate on my lunch break at work. I have a meditation app on my phone and in 15 minutes i can feel totally relaxed! Best of luck to you. I hope you feel better soon

I've beat myself up for this for so long and this is so different to hear from what anyone that I'm with outside this website.. My boyfriend is trying to understand and accept this. I'm just more weight on his shoulders which I understand. He even chose me over his family (which disowned him for staying with me) he doesn't have a 'future' if he stays with me. It's crazy how people can really make you feel like complete dirt. I've done nothing to hurt anyone, I avoid the outside world to stay away from people like them.

Hello,
I too am sorry for all you are going through ,each one of us in here know how bad it can get. You are NOT to blame ,I have a loving husband ,he loves me deeply,and shows it in so many ways ,as do my family ,BUT I do at times feel they simply do NOT understand just how I feel even though I know they do try to.
Take Care
