anxiety help

[gpcarson]

Hey i am experiencing some really weird symptoms and im pretty sure they are related to anxiety.

I have been feeling this sudden loss of interest in my girlfriend. Weve been dating for about two years and i have been so happy the entire time, so theres really no other reason why i would be feeling this way. This feeling comes and stays for awhile but eventually goes away and i dont want to it to ruin our relationship in the long run. So my question is if my anxiety is ever fixed with my love and interest for her come back?

Thanks

Ok i knew that people would think that, but i really have no reason to not love this girl. During high school i tried my hardest to get her and i finally did.. i was so happy. Everything with our emotional, sexual, and social relationship was and is perfect! its just these random feelings. i sometimes dont feel like i am interested in her but after a week goes by, shes the only thing in my head. we are at different colleges, and i know that can cause such feelings but these are very sudden and scary! If i was falling out of love with her it wouldnt return!

Anxiety is feeling anxious.  Feeling differently about someone is normal in a long relationship, but that isn't anxiety.  Don't blame everything on anxiety, it's just one facet of your life.  Have your feelings changed?  Has your situation changed?  Is it just a moment in time that will pass?  Is something else going on?  Life is complicated even for those who don't have an anxiety problem.

Thanks for the feedback! and yes she knows about my anxiety but i never want to tell her its making me feel like that because she would probably get freaked out. I just really want to get back on track.

Have you told her your feelings?  Does she know you have an anxiety disorder or at least a problem with anxiety?  
It can take a major amount of energy to keep it under control, thus giving you less energy for her.

  Yes anxiety can make us feel foreign to our closest loved ones, but don't worry, if you get help for your anxiety you will be back the way you used to be with her. My anxiety was so bad that I could hardly sit and eat with my husband at the kitchen table. I was terrified that he would see my head shake. Anxiety can be he**. Please get help, you will be amazed how much better you feel. If you are prescribed Zanax, just remember its hard to come off of so use it sparingly. I had very bed anxiety in the eighties and I got through it with drug therapy and talk therapy. Good luck to you and God bless you!
