Hi there,
For 4 years I have suffered with anxiety and although I did CBT which helped and I got better. It has come back with a vengeance.
Long story short, I was with my ex for 6 years and we recently split up because it wasn't working. Needless to say, he was very hurt and I am still hurting because I'm not a horrible person and i really did hurt him. Anyway, during the last 2 months of the relationship, i was getting close to a friend... me and this friend are now in a relationship but i have been told by many friends that i should have given myself time to recover and be single before moving on into another relationship.
I don't think this is helping my anxiety in the slightest because i am already feeling sensitive, I'm doing a lot of stuff for him and just feeling incredibly low when i should be happy. I overthink almost everything that is said or that colleagues say and I'm finding it hard to cope.
I will be ringing talking therapies in the week but just wondered if anyone had any advice on the situation? I don't want to have an anxiety attack infront of him but I'm pretty sure i will and some point which worries me because he doesn't know the severity of my anxiety.
Thanks in advance.
