I'm looking for advice. I started a relationship long distance thinking that my anxiety and hang ups from my past ex would disappear before my gf moved in. I was sadly mistaken. My gf is supportive, but my anxiety and paranoia are straining my present relationship. Since she's arrived, I've been having triggers/flashbacks. I love her dearly and I'm trying to get help from therapist, family members, apps, groups....does anyone have any similar experiences and advice?

I know your pain I have my good days and my bad days a lot of my anxiety attacks I thought were heart attacks in the beginning because of the physical symptoms I was always having (heart pounding, dizzy, impending doom feeling, breathing difficulty) but after years of having them and talking to doctors and therapists I realize now when I have them they are just anxiety attacks but they can be very scary for sure if you don't know what it is in the beginning. I hate taking RX meds too so it's a double edge sword, I feel like I trade one problem for another when I take the pills the doctors give me and all the side effects that come with them. To be honest I have been using medical marijuana for the last few years and I feel it really helps me and doesn't have near as many bad side effects. I know it might sound crazy but look into it and try a sativa strain it really helps with mood, anxiety and depression. But use a low does if you never tried it before
