Attachment Anxiety
I recently discovered that I have attachment anxiety. For years I thought I was crazy and that there was something wrong with me. I’m finally dating an amazing guy and I don’t want my attachment anxiety to ruin our relationship.
For those who have/had attachment anxiety what has REALLY helped you?
Replying so I can learn too! Also need it
Hi hope you find answers and relief. I know for sure receiving gratitude from a partner helps. Open and honest communication about this helps a lot. Try to also work on the origins if you are able. Usually these anxieties stem from childhood and working through that might help too. But speaking with your partner that gratitude might go a long way could help. I wish you all the best.

HI! I struggle with these issues as well. It's so hard when you're always worried someone you love is going to leave. I realized how much of an issue it was when I was told if I'm always afraid he doesn't love me and he's going to leave is pushing him away. I never considered how my worrying and spiraling effected him. Things that have helped me are to ask myself before I text spiral is this real or my perception that something is wrong and I need to "fix" things, is he really going to forget about me and move on suddenly if I don't text, is the text necessary and important?
I'd also ask you to consider what are causing these feelings. What things they may say or do that trigger these feelings even? It's good to talk through these feelings with those we love. I wish you all the best of luck! Have a great day! 💕
