Anxiety and dating

[Riss]

Hi every one

I hsve had anxiety for years now and im on meds for it. I got out of a relationship that tough me appart about 4 years ago and have just started to curiously date a guy again. And my Anxiety about it all is so high im going to distroy the relationship befoe it starts. Hes very ill atm. And has gon quieton me , and though I know he is unwell the fact I have heard nothing from him is making me feel terrible.  Has any one ells had this kind of problem before with anxiety and a new relationship???

dear Riss, this doesn't sound to be good for you at all, and I'm sure that a lot of us do have anxiety when we go on a date, thinking of what is this person like, will they like me because of------, and the list continues.

What I would like to know is whether you have anxiety at most times or is it just when dating.

So please let us know before we can continue on with some advice, but from what you have said it seems to be a lot of times that this illness destroys your life. L Geoff. x

dear Riss, I forgot to say that many people would still be asleep that's why you haven't had any replies. L Geoff. x
