Relationship anxiety - anyone else??!!

[Pineapple177]

Hi all,
Basically I suffer from the worst relationship anxiety, I cannot ever believe or let myself be happy or that anything that will ever work out for me.
My boyfriend knows I have anxiety, but finds it hard to address my anxiety within our relationship. In his eyes he gives me no reason to feel anxious (which he doesn't really) so he can't understand why I feel it which makes it hard to talk about to him.
I feel like I need a lot of reassurance and I don't want to be feeling like this.
I am due to start counselling because my anxiety effects my job and my day to day life.
So my question is - does anyone have any advice with how I can deal with this please in the meantime?
Has anyone ever overcome this? What can I do to make myself feel better?
My GP gives me pills but it doesn't stop my racing mind.
Any advice appreciated. Thank you. 😊

Have you had any counselling? Medication is all well and good to treat the symptoms of anxiety, but doesn’t address the causes.

You need to think of it as a self-fulfilling prophecy. You need so much reassurance you drive people away eventually which gives you the evidence you did need all that reassurance and on and on.

Look if someone wants to split up with you there is, in the end, nothing you can do about it. You can quicken it up by being utterly needy. It's too much pressure being that needed by someone.

So have other things that makes you secure and happy and treat your relationship as the amazing icing and decorations on the cake of life.
