An Irish Anxiety

Hey guys Im an anxiety sufferer from Ireland. I see a Councillor and im going this month to get it diagnosed and maybe meds but I just need some support :(. It all started when my girlfriend who I was with for a year and 2 months said on the phone "I could never go out with a bi guy" Im straight but she asked me to promise I was and I got panicked that maybe I was. I then started getting worried over it and having a panic attack. I was feeling anxious the entire next day and felt Emotionally Numb, we were lying in bed talking about how me going to college would effect us , she then asked if I loved her ( I had 0 problem saying it before) but I went numb and locked up and couldnt reply.

for the next 4 months after that I was a wreck and we couldnt laugh or have fun or do anything so we broke up and I miss her but if I think of being close with her I panic. Im going out with a girl Ive been friends with for years and its happening with her now and I think I should just take a break from realationships. I still talk to my ex and I still have feelings but I get anxious when I talk to her sometimes

Ive had my condition for 4 months I have constant hollow feeling in my chest like a pressure , my emotions feel weird and sometimes dont show up when they should and its making me just want to give up... (Also have ADHD)

sorry for the long post :S

My anxiety started off with my girlfriend too. I won't bore you with the details but if you've ever watched the show Friends it was like Chandler and his commitment issues..I just got cold feet about actually being in a serious relationship and ended up getting extremely anxious around her.

Anyway, are you a bi or do you just get anxious at the thought that you might be? Do you have any sexual feelings towards the same sex or something?

my last relationship ended because i could not communicate with my partner about the anxiety i was feeling.Partly because of trust issues and partly because he was not a very good communicator or very understanding when i tried. have you tried talking to here about how you are feeling rather than avoiding it? i find not talkign and avoiding have done me more damage in the long run...
