Hi everyone.
I've had severe anxiety for about 2 weeks now. I'm used to it happening though when I'm going through stressful times. As much as I am used to the physical symptoms they still make it hard to function and live a normal life. It's hard for me to do anything publicly when I'm feeling this way. Going to work has become a major issue as has been driving in the car. I get super bad anxiety. Which in turn makes it hard to work. So I've been taking some days off.
What I need help with is me and my boyfriend have a strain on our relationship because of this. My anxiety has just been really stressful for both of us. We fight about money because we are trying to move out of his moms house. I'm 20 and he's 18. So he just finished high school and doesn't really pay bills where as I am paying my insurance phone bill and gas. I understand how important money is. But if i can't work because of my anxiety I can't force myself to work. I am just struggling with this because we just got into a huge fight where he thinks that I can just make this all go away and that I really don't have a problem. We aren't on the same page with this and it's creating a problem. I try to work I really do. But he doesn't see that. I really try to do a lot of things. I just wish he understood what I am going through like my therapist and family do. He says he does but if he really understood wouldn't he stand by me and not fight with me about it?
Any advice?
