Hey everyone, I've been in a relationship since the past few years.

I figured out I had anxiety about 4 years back, although somewhat manageable. I also realized that I have an anxious attachment style &amp; my girlfriend also suffers from anxiety and depression(much more severe than me), and she's an introvert.

Our relationship has been quite great, and has had its usual ups and downs like almost every other relationship. We've been long-distance since the start of the pandemic, and she lives with her family. I currently live alone.

Around 4 days back, my girlfriend told me she was going through a bad mental state, and texted me saying that she wants a break from everything; i.e. her friends, family and me, so she wouldn't text/call any of us for a few days, as she wanted to sort things out and reduce the damage.

My anxious self asked her if I was the reason and she said No. However, she declined from disclosing what was the trigger of her current state, i.e her friends, family or her career.

I agreed with her request and told her that I'd be a text/call away whenever she'd be ready to talk again. It's been 4 days, and honestly, things haven't been great with me. I've reduced eating food as most times, I don't feel like it. 

Fortunately enough, I'm not experiencing full-blown anxiety, but even this state is messing me up. It's the uncertainty that's causing this, I think. Uncertainty of not knowing the trigger of her state, and the uncertainty of when she'll text/call me again.

I'm trying to keep myself occupied with work, household chores, meditation, playing guitar, drawing, watching sports etc. but I'm spending a lot of time brooding over this and unnecessarily overthinking. Quite sick and tired of this.
