I'm in a long-term relationship, which I am extremely happy in. Last Monday I felt like I usually did, cloud 9 all loved up and woke up Tuesday felt like death, heart racing and obsessively thinking I didn't love my boyfriend anymore, I can't stop thinking it it's horrible! I've felt like this before it only lasted 2 days then went away but it's came back stronger and lasting longer. I saw my doctor today she told me these thoughts are normal and started me on beta blockers and antidepressants. I need to know is it normal to feel this way with anxiety, Why is it making me feel like the person who truly made me happy no longer does, When I think of my life without him I feel numb. How can I drop these thoughts for good it's driving me nuts.
It's hard isn't it. You want to be yourself but when u feel like this you can't. I've suffered with depression on and off for ten years. I find it hard to be sociable with people. I am on venflaxine and am not feeling any better and not losing the empty feelings inside. I just want to feel better. I understand where you are coming from.
It’s a monster that’s the only way I can describe it

Yes this feeling of falling out of love is normal, I always think it amounts to a fear of loosing someone you love and not been worthy of his attentions. You may also be balking at being happy and looking for excuses for Him not staying with you.
All I say is enjoy your time together and hopefully that warm glow of love will stat with you both. We all go through doubts when we meet someone we like or love. Give this relationship time to mature. I forty years you will have forgotten all of this and you will both be together getting ready for Christmas just like us

Yes, but I love my boyfriend. We have been dating for 4 years and I just wanted to know is it normal to feel like you don't love anyone as a part or anxiety and depression?
Yes possibly, in a way only you know how you feel and if stressed we can have strange irrational feelings.
I know in my case Sometimes I get the same feeling and it soon goes, I am disabled with Depression. In pain I am a real pain and can sometimes feel very irrational because of these illnessess
You sound content and happy just get on with your happiness and enjoy christmas together.
