He always wants to know whats wrong we've been together for almost 9 months but its not that I dont want to tell him I just feel embarassed by my anxiety and panick attacks. The only person I feel comfortable telling is my mom my sister and my bestfriend. He says he knows when something is wrong and wants to help me but I feel like he wouldnt be able to?
Why do you feel like you have to hide your panic attacks that's probably contributing to your panic attacks
You are afraid of judgement. It's like anything else that people don't understand. They think you are doing it for attention or are crazy. So we live in fear of this judgement and it makes to worry even worse. We try to be on equal footing with our peers and this makes it difficult because they have something to hold against us. A phobia I definitely can relate to. If he loves you he will accept you no matter what.
Because I feel embarassed by them
I agree, thank you
Anxiety and panic attacks are nothing to be ashamed about, more people than we realise suffer from it. Be open and honest with your boyfriend , it is better than leaving him wondering if he has done something to upset you. If he is a caring individual he will understand and happily help you through the rough times. Be honest as that is what relationships are about , support and understanding when a partner needs it most. Best of luck .
I agree ! Thank you
Stacey I ask you this and only you can answer this no doctor ore anybody but you if you new someone that you loved ore cared about that had a problem would you want them to tell you there was something wrong with them ore hide it from you I am not saying to go out there and tell the whole world what is going on I am talking about does you love ore care about you cannot be honest with others if you cannot be honest with your self yes we have a problem but you might be supprized for all you no he might have a problem that you don't no about
Hi Stacey I know exactly how you feel l am the same.My reason I feel that way is because of the way I have always been treated by my family.l know l should not be ashamed of having ànxiety however I find it very difficult to break out of that mindset. I know that you probably afraid of how your boyfriend will react but you shouldn't be as people are more educated about ànxiety than they used to be and if he cares about you he will be supportive.He probably knows anyway so you may as well be honest.
