Hey there!
I am currently going through a very difficult time in my life, I'm 26, engaged, I have seen alot of my close friends come and go over the years, I'm growing up and apart from alot of my friends & comfort zone... On top of everything I am engaged but I am having some conflict and doubts and overall just going through alot of stress and uncertainty in my life.
I have noticed in the last 6-8 months I am suffering from severe anxiety and depression over my stress. Most of my anxiety ONLY relates to my relationships in life, mostly my romantic life..... I have constant worries and thoughts running through my head regarding everything from trust, to questioning if someone is good for me, to whether I am ready to settle down... etc.
I also experience severe anxiety with the thought of being alone... Now that I am at an age where I don't live with my family, my friends all have their own lives, I get VERY anxious when I think I have NO ONE.....
My anxiety has become so bad that I feel like a total mental case.... any slight problem in my relationship I feel it's the end of the world and we need to break up... Then I get severely anxious when I think about leaving my fiance because I have no one.
I have lost so much weight and look very ill.... I have my OK days where I seem to laugh and be ok, but I would say WELL over 50% of my life is filled with my anxiety and feeling depressed over my lack of ability to cope with my thoughts....
I don't know what to do anymore.. I would never attempt suicide, but I think of it happening ALL the time... I almost want to get killed in a car accident, or get so sick I can be put in the hospital.
I just can't deal with life... and the stresses..
I feel so weak, and no matter how logical I think, I can't seem to shake it.
Does anyone else suffer from this anxiety mostly towards their romantic relationships?
Any advice, or what options are out there for me?
Thank you!
