Anxiety and relationships

Hi I hope everyone's ok , this could be a really long one but il try my hardest to cut it as short as possible ,
I'm just curious if anyone on here experiences anxiety that is brought on by relationships and or made worse because of them ? My anxiety is really getting me down lately . And to the point where I am snapping at my partner . We have been together 10 years . I think our relationship actually brought my anxiety on . I have had a bad few years with him . He has bipolar and it's been draining . He has got a lot better mind but still my anxiety is there . I feel like I just want to be alone and when he comes home the same time as me or I come home and he's already here I feel really anxious and angry inside because I just want time on my own.
I hated him working away and now I just wish that's what he did . I feel really drained and totally fed up or worrying about nothing really . Also I put so much pressure on myself for things to be perfect that I'm driving my self mad when things ain't . Such as the house , house work , car I could go on and on I think it's like ocd . I do feel like I can't cope much anymore . Just normal things like washing the dishes I find too much for me . I even started bawling my eyes out because mentally I couldn't get my head Around cleaning the house for Christmas or even decorating. It's all done now but god knows how I managed it . I feel like I could easily just end my relationship because my head can't take anymore of anything . I just feel like I could be in my own 24/7 . I went down my parents yesterday and they kept asking me what was wrong saying I didn't seem myself . Just them talking to me was making me feel
Really edgy and anxious . Is anyone else feeling like this ? I feel pretty alone

I totally understand all points of your post, my H makes me anxious all of the time.

Like I want to curl up an in ball and be invisible, but he is also the “only” person I find makes me feel this but I absolutely love with with people, the fact that things are still closed and I can’t go out and be social is driving me crazy.

I have to have a word with myself when he comes home from work to be normal untill the D goes to bed I will then read untill bed as I feel uncomfortable being in the same room,
It’s exhausting x
