Bio

Hi! You can call me Rissa, I have anxiety disorder and it's not really all that fun. I'm 19 and I enjoy talking to people and making people laugh. The 'Rissole' on my name is a nickname I've had for years now. Just a funny little quirk of myself. :) I can't wait to get to know people.

I have anxiety, and it's affecting everyone around me especially my boyfriend

...See more I'm really struggling today, I cannot help but feel the ugly butterflies in my stomach. The dropping feeling of worry. I've been with my boyfriend for 6 months now, and he has tried his absolute hardest to be as supportive as he can and I know it's not always easy for the people on the receiving end. I've lost all my friends I ever made in High school, or at my old job... (I work in an office now as a trainee and the ages range from 35-50) so I don't have much to relate to them about... They're too consumed in university, or too consumed with their boyfriends to care enough about me no matter how many times I attempt to suggest catching up. For once, I want my boyfriend to be the one wondering where I am, waiting for my reply to the messages he's sent because I'm busy with my OWN friends. I am very dependent of him, constantly worried over things like him leaving me. Overly sensitive, overly emotional... I overreact, I get upset easily. I jump to conclusions. When we aren't together and he is with friends I feel extremely lonely and upset just waiting for his reply that never comes... He's just trying to have fun with his friends, I see him everyday so why is it such an issue when we aren't together? I guess I just feel alone because he has so many friends who adore him, and I've got none... I'm just the backbone. I feel like the little kid he drops at daycare before hanging out with his friends. How shameful it must look that I don't even have my own I don't have any skills, hobbies... I have nothing. I just cling onto him and depend on him. How can I stop? Someone help. I'm getting lost in my own thoughts, I can't talk to my boyfriend anymore, he does not know how to help and I only frustrate him and push him further... I don't want to push him he is extremely important to me.
