Gut feeling it's going to end

[babyrol]

Hi everyone, I'm feeling quite low at the moment and would like some advice / tips on this if possible please or even stories of people who have been through similar.

I am 26 and been with my partner for 2 years. Our relationship is great, he lives with me now, we get along so well and don't argue much, do lovely stuff together like holidays, nights away, go out for food and drinks (by ourselves or with friends). He tells me how beautiful I am every day and how much he loves me and wants to spend his life with me etc.

The last 2 weeks I have just had this awful gut feeling that things are going to end, I feel so incredibly lonely right now. He will go and see his friends and spend time with them which is fine, but for me I don't even have the energy to want to see my friends I just feel as though I don't want to even move.

I have this awful thought that if we break up, he will be out enjoying himself and I'll be sat at home depressed. I am just so worried that it's going to end that I feel sick.

There is literally no reason for me to even be thinking like this, but I am. It's consuming me and making every day unbearable! Just to add I have a large friendship group and great family so it's not an issue of not having anyone else.

I don't know what I'm looking for, but hopefully just someone who can tell me this will pass or what I can do 😔

You need to go visit your GP. It sounds as though you are suffering from depression and/or anxiety.

Thank you @Didimum for your reply. I didn't even think about that, I've (luckily) never had anxiety or depression in my life so didn't even think of that as being a possibility.

Hi OP,

sounds familiar. I was in your exact shoes a few years ago.

I completely shut down and don’t want to move when my anxiety is at an all time.

Try and speak to your GP. Communicate your fears with your partner.

Do things to make you feel better.

Even if my some chance you did break up, you’ll be absolutely fine❤️

@Gr8tfulmumof2x thank you for your lovely comment, it means a lot

I hate the thought of going to the GP about this, I wouldn't even know what to say. My partner has noticed that I'm not myself and has been worrying and checking that I'm happy with him and that I'm not going to end things, he probably thinks it's him bless him.

Thank you for sharing your experience though, I'm so glad your ok now x

You don’t need to go into anything deeply. I would tell them you feel down to the point where it’s affecting your quality of life and that you need support.

@Didimum yes your right, I was hoping it'd just pass but it doesn't look like it will!

On one hand, it's only been 2 weeks. So it might be plausible you're just going through a blip. You could schedule an appointment for say 2-4 weeks time and see how you're doing. And do things within that time that are known to improve mental health – lots of sleep and exercise!
