What is wrong with me? relationship and anxiety


18 years ago 0 375 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi Ripper. I totally understand how you feel with respect to being in a relationship. My fiance is my life.....i love him to death. And he is very supportive of my anxiety. However, I feel like sometimes i'm such a burden. I feel like i'm ruining the relationship with this stupid anxiety. I know i should not be thinking this way...but sometimes i cant help it. I complain sometimes and i feel like i'm dependent on him to be there for me to make me feel better. I dont' want to seem like a big baby. I just really love him. I want him to see me as a strong, independent woman who will make him happy. But dont worry. Just make sure he understands your situation completely. He needs to be supportive and understanding. Make sure you have an understanding on what to do when you are feeling anxious or panicky. For example, my fiance knows now that when i feel anxious, i dont' want anyone talking to me. I just want to be left alone. So thats exactly what he does. And then when i calm down, thats when we talk it out and stuff. He is wonderful. I wish you all the best !!!

I am better this morning. I finally fell asleep. I think writing on here helped out a lot. Plus I wrote my bf some notes and left them all over just to remind him that I do love him, I do care. So last night I took my first zoloft. I panic'd, today I dont feel any different other than a little tired, and maybe a little more relaxed, but I dont know. It could be I just woke up. I still only got a few hours sleep, so I am hoping in the near future that I will be able to actually sleep for longer periods of time. Well thats all for now. I will keep a'll posted. Thanks for listening.

Im still in panic mode, but relaxing a bit. I went and gave him a huge hug, I apologized, I still feel bad for feeling this way towards him. I dont mean too. I really dont. I love him soo much, but this, this anxiety drives me crazy. I over react, I make such big productions out of everything. I can't handle much. Like movies, I use to love horror movies, now, I can't even watch a preview. Im so scared of this medication. I know it helped before, but like many others, I am terrified of the medication itself. How will I react to it. Why am I sitting here waiting to see if something will happen. WHy can't I just go to sleep like a normal person? Why can't I be a normal person? Why cant I leave the house without a cell? Why can't I enjoy walks on my own? Why can't I be away from people for long periods of time? Why can't just enjoy life like I use too? Why do I always look at the down side of everything? Why all these questions? Why do I analyse everything? Why, oh why oh why!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I just took my first zoloft tonight. Immediate panic, laying in bed beside my bf, can't sleep, I keep crying constantly. He's tired, so he can't really pay much attention to me. Im freaking out, I just want to be held, I want to be told its ok. So Im left not only with a panic attack while laying beside him, but now Im getting irritated with him. When I know I shouldn't. I dont know what is wrong with me. He has been working so hard, I can't blame him, but I get soo mad cause Im hurting like this and need him and hes not there. And then in turn I feel so guilty because part of me is upset because hes not there, but part of me is really upset because I shouldn't be upset about this. I had to leave. I was just getting more and more upset and irritated and was hyperventilating. It seems to be getting tougher and tougher as the days progress. We have only been together for just over 2 months, and it is good over all. But this anxiety is wrecking havoc. I can't sleep, so I go lay down beside him. I just want to be with him. Which has been fine. But tonight, ya not so much. Ilove him to death, and that scares me to say that. Im just soo messed up right now. I think I am going to go hug him right now. And then I will come back and post how I feel. I need something, even if he is sleeping....
