Anxious girlies; do you guys have any advice on how to calm your relationship anxiety when you know that there’s nothing wrong. My nervous system thinks healthy≠bad and so it puts me into crippling anxiety although I know that there’s nothing wrong.

Not a universal fix but for me the gym is a great place to get my mind of shit. Just stops me from focusing on random worst case scenarios

I’m experiencing crippling anxiety. I got married 2 months ago and I’m constantly thinking he’s trying to or is sleeping with like 10 other people

Been in this position- Therapy is always helpful though I know it can be hard to get access to. There is always resulting to friends or family to talk it out. Or going to SO yourself and saying “hey this is something I’m struggling with”, if he really is the love of your life he will be understanding and do what he can to help. Then there is finding hobbies. I got really into crafts and walking. It’s a really lonely but chaotic thing to experience this so I really hope you find something🫶

Well and the bad part is that me and my bf are at a good place after having our argument phase. But now I am genuinely convinced that there’s something going on I cannot see although I genuinely think he’s just the love of my life. But like my nervous system doesn’t know how to regulate the lack of chaos enough to where I had a panic attack yesterday over legit nothing. There’s nothing there to dig at, we’re perfect now and my body hates it. And idk what to do

Did the anxiety get worse since you got married?

The bad thing is that I’m fine out of a relationship. Relationships just trigger that trauma for me so I need to figure it out. And I’m blessed to be with a kind and patient man who understands that I’m fucked up. But I still don’t feel like it’s fair to him to have to deal with it, thus turning to the internet for ideas

Me and my boyfriend have talked about it and he is well aware of the issue. Enough to where if I subconsciously start picking a fight due to it he’ll ask me if this is a genuine problem or if I’m just picking a fight because things are too good. I just want to actually fix and resolve it as to not have it be a continuous issue
