I feel irritable a lot, when I'm in public sometimes or riding my bike I feel like some people are staring at me and it really winds me up. I end up just glaring back at them, but a lot of the time they probably aren't intending to stare and I'm being irrational. However some men definitely do it and make a point of it.
I worry that my partner thinks I'm a nightmare even though I'm sure he doesn't. Any minor issue and in my mind I'm worrying that he's going to consider ending things and how does he put up with me.
In general I find being in a relationship very anxiety inducing even though it shouldn't be. Constantly feeling that I have to be my best self and that we should be doing loads of cool new things together all the time, am I interesting enough, am I nice enough, am I too nice, etc.
I know it's all irrational. Constant thoughts like that and it's exhausting.
Always assume the worst, for instance that people don't like me or take criticism personally when it isn't intended to be.
I am also incredibly hard on myself
I've had enough of living this way and constantly worrying. Not sure if medication would be a good solution. Does anyone else ever feel like this, and have you managed to find a successful treatment?
