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.

Hello, I am new to daily strength and this support group. Recently, my boyfriend got out of a 28 day alcohol rehab. He gave me more attention in rehab with limited access to a phone then he does now and he lives two blocks away. I've done so much for him and I feel like I've been completely manipulated and used because I took care of so much for him while he was away. And from the progress I have seen I have fallen more in love with him. I don't drink so I am not an unhealthy person in his life but I'm having severe anxiety as I feel like he is shutting me out. Or maybe I'm being paranoid. My anxiety is more at night when I'm home from a busy work day. I've journaled, I'm seeing a therapist who specializes with addictions... but I will constantly wake up in the middle of the night in a panic attack. At times, I feel like I'm suffocating. He is always in my dreams... some involve alcohol and some are happy dreams, but I cannot seem to escape from all of this. I'm not sure if this is becoming unhealthy for me. He hasn't even given me any direction as to what he wants from me or us, and I've asked several times. Any suggestions please! :)
wont have an open , honest converstion about where you are in a
relationship, you should back off..you dont want to be in it alone.
He probably gave you more attention when he was in rehab becase he needed you and his other choices were limited.
