I was the same. Sadly, my boyfriend eventually dumped me partially because of it and I don't blame him. Anxiety is a curse. It's like you know how you want to be but your brain won't let you.

See if your doctor can prescribe something else This particular medication is not working for you. Is your boyfriend supportive of your condition? Do you sit down and talk about it and explain what you go through? Communication and knowledge are both very important in a relationship. Don't give up. Hugs GB

I've been with my high school sweetheart since we were 16. We're now both 23 and happily married. This is a CONSTANT fear of mine is that one day he will get sick of me and choose not to be with me and makes me feel like he deserves better. But you know what? He is with YOU for a reason! He is with you because of exactly who you are, positive and negative. And if for some reason he decides he can't handle it, then he wasn't the right one for you in the first place (: Know your worth and just do the best you can.

Another thing: My Dr. wrote this down the last time I went and broke down in her office..

F.E.A.R. = False Evidence Appearing Real

I sometimes repeat this to myself and it helps.

Take it one event at a time. Say you get anxiety going to the mall. Go to the mall for a little while and go back home. Even if it was a struggle you will eventually realize you can conquer more than you think!

I feel the same way. My bf has anxiety too, but it's no where near as bad as mine. It's gotten to the point where I can't even drive anymore, so I have to depend on him to get where I wanna go. I feel like he can do so much better than me. I feel like a failure and a loser because I just can't do things that come so easily for most people. Sorry, I don't have any advice, but just know that you're not alone.

Thank you for all your support. You are right I just have to take one event at a time it's just so overwhelming sometimes.
