So this is a long story but here goes. I never realized I struggled with anxiety until it started to really affect my mind while I had to work or really anything I needed to do. When I say anxiety I mean full blown stomach cramps, feeling sweaty, feeling cold, and feeling that moment of panic. The other day I had an anxiety attack for the first time that I felt like I couldn’t even catch my breath. The whole thing that triggered it was a text from a guy friend or a FWB. He basically told me that he was sleeping with other people and that if I couldn’t handle that then maybe we shouldn’t talk anymore. The thing that bothered me was I’ve known him for years and considered him a good friend of mine. I guess to see that he was willing to just throw it all away was hard to deal with. Now I am overthinking every single thing he has ever told me and I’m dwelling on who this other person is and all these thoughts of “is it serious “ keep running through my head. I just need some advice on how to maybe cope better. I need to take small steps because he means a lot to me and I have expressed that to him but all he said was he did care but he did not see it turning into anything. I am considering going to the doctor or for medication to cope with anxiety.
