Hi there,
I just discovered this support group, and read many things that I can relate to. I have had anxiety for many years, and have been hospitalized once. I have lost many things in my life to this condition, including friends, lovers and family. I currently take effexor xr for my generalized disorder, but feel like I am on a roller coaster most of the time. I can't help but feel in my everyday life most people do not understand and feel very isolated. In my current relationship I am worried constantly that he will release me because I can't socialize the way he does, and that I am not positive enough, simply not good enough for him, I do not strive to have a good job because I can not take the stress of the pressure anymore so I do not make a lot of money, I do not go out on my own anymore because I do not know anybody. Meeting people scary to me. I would like to know how other people deal with their relationships? How do you tell them your trying to be a better person? and prove it, I sure would like to be less worriesome about this, it has been causing me anxiety attacks for weeks, this is scary to me as they just started after being free from them for awhile, does anybody feel this way in their relationships and how do they cope?
