Im a 21 year old female from Australia. Im in a loving relationship with my fiance. We have been together for 2 and a half years and engaged for a bit over a year. We have been living together for almost the whole time we have been together. The time Ive had with him has been the best of my life.
Ive always suffered from anxiety (couldnt sleep for months when I was 8 because I though aliens were coming to get me. Also obsessed over global warming when I was 15 and refused to watch or listen to anything to do with it because I was so sure the world would end any day and was terrified)
My anxiety seemingly went away when I met my Fiance. The last few months I have been having niggling thoughts - "what if he's not the one", "you should end it because you dont really love him", this isnt going to last"
Everytime I did something to do with our wedding (we have set a date and booked almost everything) those thoughts would sneak into my mind. Last week my friends got married and the thoughts said "you wont be that happy, youre only settling, not in love like those two" This triggered a series of anxiety attacks and a lot of heartache.
Ive got an appointment with a psych nurse in two days but in the meantime Im wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. And what did you do to help them.
Also how did you explain your feelings to your partner?
P.S sorry for the essay
