My health anxiety and GAD have been super bad this past year. It overall coincides with breaking up with my ex. When I was with him, I was never anxious, I was happy and carefree all the time. I've been wondering if my anxiety could have something to do with this-I have a lot of existential worries about not doing the things I want in life-aka having children. And my anxieties center around things that would prevent me from having kids. Am I just a codependent person? I've really only had one real boyfriend, but now I'm wondering if I should just get a boyfriend quicker to help this worrying.

Why did you break up if you were so "happy and carefree"? Sure, if it's that easy finding a boyfriend and you've been so ill without one, then go "get" one ASAP ;)

I was moving, he wasn't ready to marry me.

Maybe getting back into dating will take your mind off your HA, unless you have one lined up already.
