I opened up to my boyfriend of over a year now about my anxiety. Was I too late in dilvulging this information about myself? I even opened up about how it has made me question our relationship, and I think it hurt him really badly. Did I ruin my relationship?

He may hav reacted strongly bc he got blind sided (didn't see it coming) I think things will be ok. While not everyone struggles with Anxiety- everyone has felt anxious at times (including your BF) It's not like you revealed something horrible. This is something that can be worked threw. Hopefully he will be ok with it 🙂

@Rose017

I'm glad you did open up. There is no timeline for that; you have to do it when you're comfortable.

What was his reaction? Why do you think you hurt him?

I know that anxiety makes us see pain and hurt and problems when they aren't there sometimes.

@Rose017 He just got hurt probably because he feels that something is wrong with him which is why you wouldnt open up to him earlier. Just give him time, explain why you waited so long to tell him and all will be fine. He knows that you trust him, otherwise you wouldnt have opened up in the first place :)
