I have decided I needed a new way to vent because my current ways are not healthy. I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks since I was about 17. As I get older they do get more serious and lately I have more bad days than good. My mind is almost always constantly on anxiety or worry mode. I am more fearful than optimistic and it's taking a toll on my relationship, just the littlest thing and I'm terrified he's going to leave me and I lose it. I know he loves me and is not going to leave me but I can feel myself pushing him away. I need to find ways to let go of all my fears but it is so hard:/

Not to mention I have no motivation to get up in the morning. I don't want to leave my bed. I use to always be dressed up and do my hair and makeup, now the thought of getting myself ready is a struggle in its self. That also is taking a toll on us because he likes to get out and do things.

Depression can result when your anxiety is at a high level for a while. Alankay.

I think you might have a little bit of depression going on. Like the above person said,high anxiety can definitely cause depression. They are closely linked and pretty much cause each other. I know what your going through. I'm going through a particularly bad anxiety phase,and had depression for a couple weeks after it started. Depression after high anxiety is often short,goes away on it's own. But if it affects you for longer then a couple weeks you might want to try an antidepressant. If not,try St. John's Wort. It's a herb for depression. I too have stopped wearing makeup,doing my hair,wearing nice clothes...it just doesn't fit my mood lately. I can relate to worrying about your partner. I always worry my boyfriend won't want to deal with my anxiety when it gets really bad. But,a guy in love will always help and won't mind. Hope you feel better
