Im scared , Im not sure what anxiety I have

[RoseD]

Hi, Im new, scared and rather anxious.

I have done a lot of research on anxiety , stress and depression. I have been told by my doctor i suffer with all 3.

All the research i have done i cannot find anything i can fully relate too. Its something i like to call Relationship anxiety. I am so terrified that my partner of 2 years will wake up one day and not want to be with me anymore. He tells me he loves me all the time and i trust him fully! I just feel like im not enough even though he has told me im more than enough n everything he has ever wanted.

We have been best friends for years and started seeing each other 2 years ago. I couldnt be happier with him hes my whole life and cannot wait for the future, however when he leaves for work and when i go i feel like my heart is literally going to break and all i do is cry.

I do long shifts at work and feel anxious every second i am there the only relief i get is when i am in his arms at home.

Does anyone have any help? Im struggling so so much!

Is it ROCD?

Anxiety and depression are not normally diagnosed together unless they are significant enough to warrant a separate diagnosis (according to the WHO ICD-10 that we use in the UK) so they often determine anxiety to be the main issue or depression if this isn't the case. GP's are not specialists though and they make general diagnoses at times. Mine had me down with the wrong things for years.

So, if the general label is preventing you understanding it, have a look at ROCD and see if thats fits to what you are experiencing with you only mentioning relationships anxiety.

I will look into that thanks.

I am actually suffering with stress n anxiety through work and my job, and i have had bit of depression from different bits. Depression runs terrible through my family and i can see how they are and know i can relate.

The relationship bit i think is my anxiety working overtime my head is so full!

Work is the main part but everything is so amplified at the minute
Thanks

It could be a GAD thing then.

This OCD website explains ROCD so have a look and see if it fits:

It doesn't have to be OCD though, it depends since people with GAD could easily have the same worries, they just won't have the compulsions e.g. with ROCD you may need to confess or seek reassurance.
