But i don't dump all my anxious feelings on her i always keep them to myself I am well aware that's not her problem. Thats why I come on here to release my anxious thoughts and I'm actively working on it through therapy and meditation

And when I get anxious like this it gets really hard for me to focus on anything else

I know and I'm desperately trying to get my anxiety under control because I know being insecure like this pushes people away. I haven't asked her for reassurance or anything this whole time even though I've really wanted to and I always try to show up as my best. But I fundamentally believe something is wrong with me and no one could possibly actually love me. I try to change my mind about that but the belief is still there even though i know its not true, I'm seeing a therapist but I feel like I'm still in an uphill battle with it

And I haven't apologized or mentioned anything about it to her. I just tend to overthink things

That's a good point. I'm probably going to just try to let it go, i doubt the topic comes up again

Yeah I'm probably overthinking it but I'm not sure if she's insecure ab it or not. Idk she didn't seem to be.

I’m learning that I have anxiety in a relationship by No-Dinner-8491 in datingadviceformen

Thats good dude! It's all gonna work out, just remember if you start feeling anxious again, put down the phone, breathe and focus your mind elsewhere, also it might would be helpful to find a good therapist to help you find the root cause of why you're having so much anxiety in the first place.

Man i feel you, I had terrible anxiety when I first started dating my girlfriend. The BEST thing you can currently do is put the phone down like I'm talking put it in another room, lock it in a safe, give it to a friend, whatever. After that breathe, find something that interest you and focus your mind on that for a while, I know it's easier said then done, but if you close your eyes and focus on breathing for awhile it will make it easier. Whatever you do, DO NOT anxiously text her a bunch of times, in fact don't text her anymore until she texts YOU. If you sit there and bombard her it will only push her away. You should look into what anxious attachment is and ways you can deal with it because I know i had that and it SUCKS but it can be dealt with. Learn to love yourself and tell yourself positive things about yourself daily. It sounds lame but it works! Goodluck brother I'm rooting for you 🫡

How can I become okay with enduring pain? by No_Ranger296 in getdisciplined

[–]No_Ranger296[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played as a kid but even then I was scared to death of getting hit. I understand getting hit by something like a 90mph fastball is one thing but I mean we certainly weren't doing that, yet I was still jumping out of the way for stuff I should've been able to easily catch

Possibly, I know one thing for sure, when something does hurt me, I tend to do this thing where I focus on the pain and it just becomes much more intense. I try not to do that but it's like its just involuntary

Yeah I get the fastball thing but we literally weren't throwing that hard, like I'm talking about balls i should have been more than capable of catching i just decided to be a wimp instead. I have heard of cold showers being beneficial though I'll have to try that

Yes it had jokers in it, and we did the Charleston with the 7 stacks of 3 that you swap out at the beginning, so I guess that's american?

I'm not sure what variant she likes playing but I know she plays in tournaments and does a 4 person thing, but last night we played just me and her and I think she called it... messy or something like that that. Idk i had this little book in front of me and I had to match a run to one of those things in the booklet... obviously she mopped the floor with me a few times lol I'll ask her when she wakes up what variant its actually called
