Hello everyone!
I've suffered with general anxiety disorder for close to 15 years. I am currently on a new medication, Cymbalta, to combat it and the depression that has developed with my anxiety lately. I've only been taking the meds for under a week.
Right now, I'm just feeling out of sorts and worrisome. I am in a wonderful relationship with a wonderful girl. We are very much in love and have talked about future plans and things of that nature. Definitely one of the best relationships I have ever been in. Still, I doubt....
I find myself worrying that she will just leave me, get sick of me, lose interest in me, even though I know if there was a problem she'd tell me. I find myself getting worked up almost daily about it and she knows what I go through. We've discussed my issues with anxiety and she has been there for me and helped when she could. We are also in a long distance relationship, which adds to my worries.
Even though nothing is wrong and things are good, is it normal to feel like this? I feel like I'm driving myself crazy and I'm now afraid to tell her about my almost daily concerns for fear of driving her away. Things have gotten better since I switched meds, but it's almost as if a brand new day brings brand new worries.
Is there anybody out there who feels the same? Should I be feeling this way? How do I cope? I just need some guidance.... Thank you.
