I 20(f) was diagnosed with anxiety as a child when I was 7. Finally around the age of 18 it started to slow down and I was able to live a pretty much normal life. I have been on Prozac for years and continued to use it even when I was feeling better. 

However the last week my anxiety has gotten sooo bad. I have work in an hour and can’t get out of bed. I feel like I’m going to throw up and I’m shaking. And all because my boyfriend hasn’t answered my good morning text yet cuz he is at work. 

My boyfriend is fantastic he tells me he loves me multiple times a day and reassures me that everything is ok. But if he takes too long to answer a text (he never ignores them always answers when he can) or responds in a way I’m not expecting I go into a full blown panic attack and shut down. We have been together for 3 years and I’ve never had such a hard time with this. 

He is good to me and has continuously helped me through so much. However I feel like my anxiety and over-dependence is pushing him away, increasing my overall anxiety. 

I’m not sure what to do. I feel lost. I have a good family, good boyfriend, great friends. Why am I struggling so much. It feels like I can’t even breathe sometimes. 

Does anyone have any advice? thanks in advance 😊
