Hey I've recently battled my struggles with alcoholism and am currently 2 months sober and still going strong. My main issue is now. I'm struggling with my current relationship, I feel I don't deserve a good healthy relationship and that she will find someone better, as a result of this I feel I'm overwhelming her with my love and effection and with my anxieties and insecurities I am going to push away the person who I truly feel could be the one as she stuck with me through my battle with drink and I can't help over thinking and catastophosing every thing so I'm here for help on these issues please and advice on self worth and appreciation. So fire away guys

...See more I'm 9 months into the best relationship I have ever been in. Me and my partner have both had our share of bad times and all our other relationships haven't been good for us. We both suffer with different mental health issues from our pasts. She helped me get heland beat my struggles with alcoholism but I still have relationship anxieties and insecurities which I gmay not have been good for either of us. The main difference between us is with my struggles and issues I find it better to talk to somebody and get help with is where as my partner is the opposite. If things get to much she shuts down and isolates her self so she can work through it. About 4 weeks ago it got to that point for her, I noticed her mood and demeanor changing and when I would ask I got the usual I'm okay just tired. Then after a very stand off ish weekend she messaged me on the Monday morning saying that she needed a break, she assured me it wasn't a break up she just had to get back to her usual self. Which I can understand and respect. But there was no real explanation. She didn't really give me a lot of information on what the problem was or why she thought she was feeling this way. I agreed to go along with it but I did struggle to have no contact with her and I did message once or twice but she came back to me with we're supposed to be on a break, just give me space and time and wait for me to get hold of you. It has been 4 weeks now and her shas been in touch explaining she's been to the doctors and asked for counselling and that she is in a real dark place at the moment. Is it bad for me to be thinking its a bit unfair to leave me in the dark so much and that there may be more to this than I'm being told?? Any help or input would be greatly appreciated as I'm driving myself nuts 😔
