How do you cope when you get anxiety from you SO

[Jonathanp55]

So I have always lived with anxiety. Recently it has been so bad that it is unbearable. Relationships give me really bad anxiety where there is days I can't get out of bed. This week my SO is going out of town, will be back next week, but almost immediately my anxiety kicks in. I start thinking is he dead? why isn't he texting? Is he cheating? Is he coming back? I ask myself these questions in a loop all day long. How do I handle this? How can I calm myself down enough to at least breathe?

Have you tried CBD oil? It has helped me so much with my anxiety! I order mine from happyonhemp. The peppermint is better than the natural flavor. I just put 7-8 drops under my tongue twice a day. If something is going to happen that I know will amp my anxiety I'll take another few drops.
