She is 21, has been with bf/dp for 5 years. Living together for 3 or 4.
Having relationship problems...nothing specific, my gut feeling is that they just aren't 'in love' anymore and it has run it's course, but she is describing feeling really really anxious, fearful and panicky ( to the extent that she is throwing up and shaking) when she thinks about their relationship.
Several months ago she had an 'almost affair' - got very close to another bloke, "nothing really happened" (ie the didn't have sex), and she and bf/dp have discussed and 'communicated' with each other and are/were 'past that'.
She can go for few days thinking all is fine and back on track and then, with no warning or apparent trigger, it all feels wrong and negative again.
Does this sound like panic attacks/anxiety disorder/depression?
She is going to GP.
She lives MILES away from me, and has no friends or family near by as they moved to a new City fairly recently.
