...See more So my bf is the type to want space and I’m literally the exact opposite. I also have diagnosed anxiety and I feel like that makes it so much worse. For example 2 days ago we had a really serious conversation about us and what we would do to fix it and he even shared he wanted to break up. He said ultimately he just needs to see I’m making progress within myself regarding my anxiety but whenever I mess up I feel like he’s so quick to hold that against me and say I’m not making any progress. For example today we argued because I was overthinking and he said he could tell and it reminded him of the argument we had a couple days ago. He said I wasn’t listening to him and I never let him talk, and he said that nothing is changing and there has been no progress. But I feel like there has been because yesterday I had really bad anxiety but I was able to deal with it on my own. I feel like he doesn’t give me credit where it’s due. But then he says I don’t listen which is sort of true because I always feel like I have to explain myself but I thought I was doing better today. I guess i’m just trying to figure out how to give him space when he asks for it and how to deal with these arguments when they come up because I feel like he just holds against me and thinks that I’m not putting in any effort to change when I really am.

Relationship and how Anxiety Affects it

...See more I have had so many small arguments with my bf of only 7 months that have exploded into this way more intense back and forth that stem from my anxiety. A lot of the time I’m unable to trust his word or I’ll dive really deep into what he’s saying and I’ll overthink. He gets really upset because I have a hard time wording what I really want to say. Like for example, today I told him I felt he wasn’t prioritizing me. But through our conversation I found I just wanted him to communicate with me more so I know he’s thinking about me. This ended up developing into much worse of an argument which had him bringing up a bunch of other things saying “I’m sorry I don’t love you as much as you expect me to.” just because on the phone I said I expected him to understand that I needed him to communicate more. But I will say my boyfriend is kind of quick to anger so he’ll bring up the past a lot like other arguments that I thought we were done bringing up. I don’t know it feels unfair sometimes, like we get nowhere because of it and I’ll just have to apologize for multiple things instead of just one thing. I just don’t know what to do i guess. I am getting prescribed to medication soon for anxiety so hopefully that will help.
