So I haven't been out a lot recently due to my anxiety and I haven't seen my boyfriend in around 3-4 weeks. We're in a long distance relationship so I usually travel to see him however because I can't do that at the moment we've arranged for him to come and see me this weekend.
I'm really looking forward to it however my anxiety is kicking in big time and I'm worried that I won't be able to do it and I won't be able to see him for ages.
I don't want it to put a strain on our relationship.
Is it anxiety or excitement maybe?
Please help!
Should he still see me this weekend?!
Why not, your anxiety is what is playing with your mind, instead of threating about things, focus on things you would like to do, which maybe nothing more strenuous than watching dvd's or board games. Nothing demanding you'll be fine
We weren't going to go out or anything, just watch dvd's and then my mum would take him back to the train station later on. I guess I just don't want to feel anxious and I don't want it to kick in around him.
But thanks.
Hi. I know how you are feeling, I have been seeing my boyfriend for 6 months but he lives an hour and a half from me and my anxiety is partly related to travelling to places I don't know or long distances so I feel I'm holding him back because I'm not comfortable with new places or if I'm not driving but someone else is. Try to focus on just seeing him first - I know it's easier said than done. Maybe once he arrives and you begin to relax a little you may feel happier. Baby steps is the way to go
