Hi all,
Several months ago I had CBT for anxiety. I was very fixated on my relationship, constantly checking and questioning my feelings, as well as my partner's feelings for me. Undergoing CBT and practicing it on my own has really reduced my overall levels of anxiety and I'm feeling much better in myself.
However, my reduced levels of anxiety means that when I get thoughts that would previously have triggered intense physical symptoms and made me cry (e.g. "You don't really love him", "You're making excuses for him - he's useless" and so on) I don't really respond physically. I've slipped a bit and started obsessively Googling things to do with relationships again, which I know I ought not to do, but is this enough to identify them as anxious thoughts?
