If I’m having an episode of anxiety and my boyfriend comforts me by hugging me telling me it’ll be okay it just makes me cry and hyperventilate harder. 



When I was at work today and the owner was giving me the run down for the day he noticed I was nervous about some new tasks he had assigned and asked if it was too much or if I needed his help to get going. 


I had to control my breath, stop shaking and hold back my tears as I felt anxiety coming on strong. 


Why does this happen?
Does anyone else get this? 
Is there a way to be more accepting to peoples affirmations and help?


 I’ve been thinking about it all day and I’ve realized it’s always been a trigger for me as long as I can remember.
