Hello,
A little back story:
I've had generalised anxiety since i was 14 but I find it tends to come in clumps. I do worry in general a lot (way more then any 'normal' person would) however my anxiety tends to attack all at once. For example, a few years ago it was Health Anxiety and I was convinced I was dying of cancer/brain tumours/strokes etc.
Now this time it's latched onto my relationship. I'm suffering with ROCD but I feel like I MIGHT be starting to improve.
I just feel really detached from my boyfriend mainly. Like when I think of him he feels really far away. When i'm with him it's easy for me to shoo away the negative thoughts and I know that it's going to pass, but when i'm away from him I feel scared because I feel so far away and weird.
Can anyone relate? I think I feel a bit disconnected from everyone right now, but i mainly notice it with my boyfriend because the relationship has been the main focus of my anxiety this time.
I just want to feel connected and happy and in love again.
Does anyone have any advice? This is killing me.
