...See more I didn't grow up with the most attentive parents. I feel like I was constantly fighting for their love and having to reassure myself that they love me rather than them ever telling me or reassuring me when Id get upset about it. Recently though, my mother completely up and left and said very mean things to me after leaving. Since then, I have had rather crippling anxiety that has seeped into my relationship, I constantly feel scared that my partner might leave me and I feel undeserving of them. I want so badly to not feel this way, but I constantly feel scared an I feel like any discrepancy in tone or wording or behavior sets off my anxiety. When these things happen it also frustrates my partner, and they have told me it’s not my fault and that they love me but its hard when they feel like they show how much they love me all of the time. I feel absolutely awful about this and Im not sure what to do or how to comfort myself. I feel like when I tell myself in my head “no they love me, they tell me that all the time” my brain just responds with “yeah but they don’t seem interested right now” and I just cant pull myself out of my anxiety. Any tips on what I can do? This has come to feel quite crippling for me
