Relationship Stress / by lavenderTree2050

...See more Hello, for sometime now I’ve been dealing with anxious attachment. I believe it developed in an unhealthy relationship that gave me trust issues, gaslit me a ton, and lack of support. This anxiety is more deeply rooted from childhood trauma grouping up in an unstable parenting household with reactful parents. As a protection system I learned to monitor people constantly. Now I have entered into a new relationship, it’s honestly great and tons and tons of fun. We are soon to be dating 2 months. But I am starting to notice my anxiety is being triggered. I’m feeling on edge constantly and I can’t just let loose. It’s hard for me to get out of my anxious cycle once it has started. My partner is much more laid back and chill compared to how I am. I convince myself that my partner doesn’t care for me anymore but I have no reason to believe so. I just notice changes in his patterns that simply is just from being tired from work. I have deep fears of losing people I care about. Lacking self compassion, I’m really hard on myself and overthink things a lot. I’ve tried to look up solutions on healing and I’m honestly unsure of what to do or where to start. I would love to just live my life relaxed and more go with the flow type attitude, instead of my head running around in circles.
