What do I do

my boyfriend and I recently almost broke up because my anxiety is beginning to take a toll on his mental health and he says that he’s not himself anymore. Part of me feels like I should just break up with him, even though I love him and that would really hurt me. I feel like I’m a burden and he doesn’t really want to be with me.

I’m going through a similar thing at home. Out of the woods right now, thankfully. My advice: sure that you’re getting help for yourself. You can’t fill anyone’s bucket if yours is empty, you know?

thank you, I’m trying so hard to get better but I feel like by doing that I’m exhausting myself.. I also feel like my anxiety is making me overthink the whole thing

This work IS exhausting. How do you replenish yourself? I’m still working on figuring that out for me.

I’ve been using this app a lot.. also I know this may sound odd but there’s an app called paint by number that I use when I feel a panic coming on. I also replenish by writing down how I feel

You are not a burden girl, things will get better soon. If you want to break up with him and just be friends so be it? I would rather work on my mental health than have to deal with a relationship.

i have been in the same situation, and i was to the point where my anxiety was really bad and i wasn't happy at all. but in all honesty, i broke up with my boyfriend recently because i wasn't happy anymore and its worth it because i wasn't happy and i needed to be happy to be in a relationship. and the thing is when your in a relationship, you shouldn't feel like a burden and honestly breaking up with my boyfriend was smart because sometimes my mental health is more important
