Anxiety in relationships is hell. There are 7 things I want my loved ones to know and understand about my illness.<\/h2>\n

For me, anxiety in relationships is common. I am almost impossible to live with, ask anyone in my family and the response will be interesting.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that I enjoy being angry, frustrated and impossible<\/a>, it\u2019s just my reaction to the chemicals racing through my brain, the weather, my friends, and hell, it\u2019s everything\u2026vs me\u2026it\u2019s all too much<\/strong>. I call it life, while most people refer to it as anxiety.<\/strong> For loved ones, it\u2019s the beast from below\u00a0and hit the deck if the beast is in a mood.<\/p>\n

Although you may not understand, we need your support!<\/h3>\n

Okay, enough with the horror story, and the beat-myself-up mentality. What I really want to convey is that I have a heart, just like the rest of you. I want peace, I want friendship and I want to love.<\/p>\n

The sad part is, these things are 10 times harder to achieve for someone with anxiety. To help you, my loved ones, here are 7 things I want you to know about anxiety in relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. I really love you<\/h4>\n

So, I seem to be unappreciative of what you do. I get it, I\u2019m an ungrateful brat. But really, I notice every single little detail of every single kindness you hand out.<\/p>\n

When you hug me, it\u2019s all that I need at the moment\u00a0when you call, I hang on every word and when you sit there beside me silent and desperate for a solution, you are offering a temporary solution<\/a> already. Sometimes just your presence is amazing<\/strong>, and I really do appreciate everything you do for me.<\/p>\n

2. Thank you for trying<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s hard for you to understand, I know, and sometimes I push limits to the breaking point. I want you to know that no matter how much you think you can\u2019t understand me, and maybe you don\u2019t, what matters is you try.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I see you try, as you talk to me for hours and offer help. As you stay up with me till the dawn, I remember who cared enough to sacrifice time. Thank you.<\/p>\n

3. I can\u2019t control it<\/h4>\n

Contrary to what you may believe, I cannot control this beast. I don\u2019t enjoy thinking negatively<\/a> or speaking the worst of any given situation. I really try to look at things from the bright side, but my mind keeps pushing into the dark. As much as you want me to cheer up, I can\u2019t flick these feelings off and on like a switch.<\/strong> Boy, do I wish I could do that.<\/p>\n

4. I know it doesn\u2019t make sense<\/h4>\n

I get it, those things I say sometimes makes no sense, and the way I feel seems irrational. But there\u2019s one little part of me that sees irrationality as completely logical. It\u2019s backward\u00a0really.<\/p>\n

In my mind, dramatic scenarios of what could happen are perfectly normal.<\/strong> As a matter of fact, the more I think about these irrational things, the more probable they become.<\/p>\n

5. I have to feel it<\/h4>\n

I accept comfort for the way that I\u2019m feeling, and I love it when you try to help me feel better. The problem is that I cannot be talked out of what I\u2019m feeling,<\/strong> just because \u201cI should\u201d.<\/p>\n

Please don\u2019t discount my feelings and tell me that I should just cheer up. To me, what I\u2019m feeling makes sense and I need to be able to process it. Helping me process these feelings is fine, that\u2019s what I need from you.<\/p>\n

6. It\u2019s not your fault<\/h4>\n

No matter what it seems like, I\u2019m not upset with you. Even if I grow angry and lash out, it\u2019s not your fault. I know it\u2019s strange to watch me go through patterns of questioning and doubting, but it has nothing to do with you.<\/p>\n

I love you and I need you. You are one of the constants in my life and your strength sometimes gets me through my darkest days. My anxiety is never about you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

7. I am not my anxiety<\/h4>\n

My illness does not define me<\/strong>. I have reached a place where I know and appreciate myself aside from my disease. I may lose control, seem irrational and even fall apart, but I am still the same girl on my bad days. Please remember me when something else is in control.<\/p>\n

We care about you as much as you care about us!<\/h3>\n

I’m almost impossible to live with, but I live and strive every day to be a better me. Sometimes, I may fail, stumble – I may even fall on my face, but anxiety will not win! I want you to know that there is hope<\/strong>, especially when you are in dark days with your loved ones concerning anxiety in relationships.<\/p>\n

Please, never stop trying<\/a> to understand, it\u2019s the effort that sometimes gets us through\u00a0the day.I love you, we love you. You are our light in an otherwise dark world.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
