My bf broke up with me because he was depressed for 5 months. I was so hurt and heartbroken because I did nothing to cause this he just left. When he called and ask to get back together I rushed back into the relationship not thinking clearly. My anxiety has been through the roof because thoughts of not loving him anymore is getting the best of me. We have been back together two and a half months and it’s like the anxiety is getting worse. Today I don’t love him tomorrow I will. He is a sweet person but the fact that he hurt me is taking a toll on me and I can’t even function in my life anymore. I don’t want to break up but I feel it’ll ease my anxiety is there anyway I can work on my anxiety and still work on my relationship because I don’t want to end it.

This sounda like ROCD to me, please mention this concept to your therapist (Relationship OCD).
Some of us are not used to be happy, loved and cared for. We strive for what is familiar in our lives, and it could be abuse or neglect even. It can happen we start associating these bad things with love if we didn’t have a proper care growing up.

It is 2 years later… I hope you are doing better!

In reply to Misty. Leave. I’ve been there. It doesn’t get better. Follow your gut. Alone is way better :)

In reply to madi. I'm also feeling this way at the moment and I don't know what to do. I love him dearly but I have this constant anxiety. Is that my body's way of telling me he's not the one?

In reply to Alicia H. Clark, PsyD. The only person needing to work on self control is his lady... Because her trying to control a situation like that resorting to putting her hands on him while hes driving is wrong in so many ways. She's not only risking their lives but others sharing the road with them.

In reply to Marlon. I don't understand what you think the problem is?? give yourself more credit because you did nothing wrong.
