Up until the past year/year and a half, I would have classified myself as mentally one of the healthiest people I knew. I’ve always had strong emotions, heightened to an occasionally dramatic degree, but nothing that has ever caused major mood swings or has affected my life for more than a span of an hour or so. I now get the most horrendous, gut-wrenching anxiety when it comes to my boyfriend. I panic when he doesn’t answer in a timely manner, if his tone is different, if anything changes. I’ve thrown up over it, I get headaches, I get severe mood changes. And I worry. It is constant, it is pestering and it is the most horrible feeling in the world. And it’s for absolutely no reason. He has done nothing wrong and I might just have to resign to the fact that I’m a nut job. But I say all that to say this— how do I deal with those hours/days of anxiety where I can’t shake that feeling of dread and disaster and the nausea/headaches? Do I just need to distract myself? Is there a magic mental approach? This is truly driving me insane
