So I’ve been dating this guy for a little over a year things were going great until my anxiety started to go down hill. It had already been going downhill but I never realized how bad it was until my anxiety my him cry. Personally, I’ve suffered with what I think is anxiety since I was 11, I’m almost 20 I’m, and I used to find ways of help it and in a way it seemed controlled it but now I can’t handle it anymore. Because of the fact I could no longer control my anxiety and for the fact it was getting worse, I decided to tell my doctor about it and he prescribed me some meds to try. They worked for a bit but in the end they messed with my mind in a way that I couldn’t take the medication daily as I needed. So I tried something else and in the end the symptoms of those medications were too much for me to handle. I tell you guys all of this to just explain where I am right now. I’ve been off of those medications for a few weeks now and my anxiety has been coming out so much and in different ways. It always seems to affect those who are closest to me like my family relationship and the relationship with my partner. It’s come to the point where my bf has become a source of anxiety because of some situations we’ve been dealing with when it comes to his parents. So now it’s hard to talk to him without getting anxious, panicked, or irritated (My anxiety makes me easily pissed off and makes me panic easy so that’s why I’m getting irritated). A hard thing in our relationship is the fact that my bf doesn’t have any mental illness at all. He’s the most healthy human being mentally I know. But with that comes a lack of understanding in how to support me and how to help me cope. He gets so emotional about my anxiety that anytime I try to tell him I’m in a anxious mindset he ends up becoming so emotional drained that he can’t take care of me and I feel as though I have to take care of him. I don’t know how to help my relationship with him and how I can help him understand how to help me. I need some help or advice. 

Oh also I am about to go see a psychiatrist to get properly diagnosed and get treated, so yay!
