Hello everyone,
I am wondering if anyone else gets extreme anxiety in relationships. I think I have been suffering from dysthymia for a while now but didnt realize it until I hit a real low about a year ago. I was involved in a serious relationship at the time but once I hit the low everything fell apart. I remember being really wrapped up in her and putting my needs after the relationship's. This was fine at first but then I found myself becoming extremly anxious when I was with her. I could love her from a distance but when we were together I felt extremely anxious and often questioned if she was the one or if I was even in love. I sort of felt claustrophobic. Needless to say it ended but now the thought of having to provide for or meet a woman's needs makes me extremely anxious, like I dont want to even try. Any similar experiences or thoughts on how the depression has contributed or hindered my relationship?
