Panic
Heyy, i have been stuggling with anxiety for a long time now, but just recently it is really bad ill just give you a couple of examples of what its like
i have a new girlfriend 6 months and i am in love with her as she is for me.we are pretty open in what we tell eachother about the past and present, but she told me she had a long term ex boyfriend.witch diddnt bother me at the time at all,but now she still talks to him and all that(but i trust her), as they diddnt break up on bad terms(just better off friends)
we were recently watching a movie called the beach and she has been to that beach with her ex boyfriend while traverling around with him! i stupidly asked if she had sex on that beach with him, she said yes.witch got me a little pissed off at the start, but diddnt think much of it after that, got over it.but recently it has been coming up in my head all the time and i am picturing them together.it makes me sick. i know its her ex and all and i was not in the picture but i just cant get it out of my mind. but when i tell myslef that it was in the past before she met me, i am good for a few mintues and then get pissed off with it agian and replay it over and over
i think the fact that she is back in england at the moment where he also is, and im in australia wouldnt be helping but i just cant get that one thing out of my mind, i nearly feel like breaking up with her over it but i dont want to loose her,i have had a past aswell but it doesnt get to her,i just keep thinking about it and worry all the time
the fact that i cant stop replaying them in my head is disturbing! i just want to get over it!
Another situation is, i have been exposed to asbestos before,as i am a carpenter(renovations),and i frequently freak out about having asbestos cancer,soo i went to the doctor and got checked out(lung x ray) nothing showed up, and he said my breathing was fine. knowing that i was happy but also thought about a day later, what if the missed it and what if the x ray triggerd it with the radiation!
i get good for a few days but then freak out about it agian and so forth
you could almost say i have panic attacks about it
there is a big even coming up in my life, im am moving to england to work and live for a year with my girlfriend
maybe i am having alll the panic attacks because somthing big is happening in my life?
they are just 2 examples! when i was little i mum took me to a specailist about this. i went once then thought i diddnt need it again.
the anxiety went away for a few years( or i cant remember having it)
but just recently it has come back and i am worring about alot of stuff.
how can i stop this?
what can i do?
those two examples i gave you are the two recent things on my mind that are causing me to freak out and not stop thinking about it
but once i get over them two, there will be another one ect!

you seems like a person who dwells on the past alot,which is fair comment about your past but why beat yourself up over your girlfriends past,you are going to lose her if you continue this with her,maybe you should speak to your doctor about your anxiety again,you have beat it before so you know it can be done,and please try to sort out your trust and insecurity issues before you loses one of the things that do make you happy.

Your xray didn't cause you any harm, people endure many xrays without harm, you can relax and put that worry to rest. I do think you need to address your anxiety so that you can live a happier life. You have a wonderful time to look forward to with the move and being with your girlfriend, this is all good stuff and exciting! Don't let things weigh you down. We get over or around problems or accept them for what they are and move on to bigger, better things in life. You deserve to be happy and will be, and with some therapy you can get past the insecurity and jealousy. Your anxiety is building so nip it now, because fear of any kind feeds our anxiety. Think of all the good in your life and all the good things starting to happen for you. I know you can do this, you have so much going for you! Take care.
