Really down...

I have anxiety and I am off work due to this as it has got worse since I had my miscarriages. Me and my partner are not currently living together and are young (20&21) so this has been a lot for both of us. We have been together over a year and a half. Me and my partner had a massive row on Sunday and during that row he made a comment saying maybe we aren’t compatible as we’ve had a number of arguments past few weeks. I was thrown back by this and was upset. He came to me an hour later and was being all nice giving me a hug and wanting to make up. After this I left his house and he went out with his friends. Since then he has seemed very distant with me, I’ve been basically living at his family home as I get on well with his sisters and they come round most days. He suggested yesterday on the phone that he needs alone time and that we see each other maybe once a week. I know he’s had stress at work which may contribute to his low mood but he seems to be very off with me since our argument, even in the way he texts me, it’s just not the same. As I mentioned before I suffer with anxiety so this has made me feel so uneasy. I haven’t been able to eat for 2 days and I just feel really down as I can’t help but think he doesn’t want to be with me. How do I calm myself down? I genuinely feel so low, I know I need to back off him so I’m doing so but ruining my mental health in the process because I’m panicking of worst case scenario.

Have you considered the fact that perhaps at least some of your anxiety is due to being in a bad relationship? Maybe the real worst case scenario would to be wasting more of your precious life with him. You are very, very young and have a MASSIVE future ahead of you. Perhaps now is a good time to reevaluate your situation.

@Aquamarine1029 we do usually get along really well though. I don’t even want to consider breaking up with him as I would be completely devestated, it wouldn’t help my anxiety either as I would be on my own and would lose my best friend. If I was to consider that I would need to be back at work and back on track mentally I think going through that right now on top of everything would be horrible :(
