It’s back

[Kat63]

It’s the beginning of a long weekend off from work. My bf and I will both be off work until next Tuesday.

My anxiety is coming back. It’s not as strong as it was before (so far, no panic attacks) but it’s there.

The past week or so, I’ve been thinking a lot about my childhood and my past and how I got to be where I am now. I think that’s supposed to be good, right? But what if it’s triggering my anxiety and addictive tendencies?

I think the prospect of a long weekend at home with my bf, neither of us going to work, is making me anxious. Our relationship is not the same as it used to be. There was a time when a long weekend together with no work would have provoked only feelings of happiness. Now, I feel anxious about it. (Well, I need to remember that repairing this relationship might not be quick and easy.)

Sorry your anxiety is back. What has you anxious about the time off exactly? I can relate to that feeling with my bf. For me, I feel the need to be entertaining and outgoing on a constant basis.

Yup repairs take time so give it a chance!

I’m worried about two possible outcomes:

1) We go our separate ways all weekend long and don’t spend any time together.

2) We get on each other’s nerves.

How about a combination of both? Arrange a couple of things on your own or with friends, then a couple of things with him. x
