“Living with anxiety, I find relationships the most challenging to deal with. It’s a struggle finding a partner who understands how your mind works without them becoming fed up with having to reassure you on a regular basis. Because of my loyalty I’ve held on to sickly thoughts and crippling emotions, suppressing my anxiety for his comfort. I finally reached the point of exhaustion and let go, healed and made peace with the fact that we do not work. It’s been many months since then and I unexpectedly fell for someone who radiates emotional stability and comfort. Who reassures me even when it’s not needed. Who understands my thoughts, relates to it and communicates with me on a daily basis to ensure both of us remain in a healthy place. It’s the happiest I’ve been in a long time, but every now and then my anxiety shouts “it’s only a matter of time before he leaves”
