Separation anxiety

[Rachms11]

So I have generalised anxiety disorder, n now recently separation anxiety. i moved out of home last month for the first time n have just about hit rock bottom. It's so hard, I'm engaged to my amazing partner n I'm scared it's going to ruin us any ideas on this? X

i have GAD as well and although i have been in a v happy marriage for 6 years, i can remember having those exact same feelings. Trouble with our condition is that we do alot of worrying about what "might" happen. For me, these feelings faded the longer we have been together and the greater the level of trust between us. Hard to deal with at the time, but for me it wasnt permanant. I recommend learning to mindfulness meditation which has really helped me with my GAD and my associated eating disorder. Good luck!

I'm going through the same thing I moved out form my parents and to another country .

I feel sick and worried when he leaves the house . Like anticipating danger.

I'm trying to work on it by keeping busy.

And trying to get used to it...
