fear

Avatar f tn I am having a hard time entering into a relationship with someone because of my fear of not being able to keep it going well due to my lack of stability....any insight & advice would be great to hear!
Avatar f tn Hey, hey, hey now. Don't you let that man get away if he's a good one!!! You are going to need a friend and if he's your man too, all the better. Let your doc know about your mood now, so you can get on something that will also help you during treatment. Your post caught my eye because I too, feel like I have given family and friends more updates than they ever imagined. I feel guilty but at the same time, need to talk about it.
19603483 tn?1480824821 Sweetheart, for the same reason he is your boyfriend and not your husband. Fear of commitment. Get the test, try not to throw it in his face. He is being something of a jerk, but in this day and age of freely available sex, guys have the right to know for sure that the child they are going to have to support financially for the next 18-21 years (or more) and emotionally for the rest of their life, are from them.

Avatar m tn Have you considered talking to a therapist to sort out where you are at with this whole thing? Fear of commitment, being hurt, etc. can really wreak havoc on a relationship. Exploring it with a professional is a great way to try to overcome it. I doubt you are gay if you've been in relationships with women and they are working, you're generally attracted to women and aren't attracted to men, etc. I think you are alright there.

Avatar f tn I've been dating this guy since the 4th of July on and off, but now it's official. Normally i'd be falling head over heals for a guy, but this time it's different. i like this guy i'm dating, but i'm not falling head over heals for him. my last few relationships went down the drain because i was head over heals and i would get screwed over by the guy, so i was just wondering is there something wrong with me or is that completely normal?
Avatar f tn I understand the fear is anxiety driven, and less than logical. I (had) continued to get hung up on a fear that my 14 wk mark was not good enough proof that I had not managed to acquire HSV 2 from my previous relationship. Your response to my question makes it entirely clear.
Avatar f tn it may just be due to the fact of my relationship issues and how it has destroyed some of my relationships. in past ones, my partner would eventually just get bored and constantly maturbate and for almost a year we did not have sex at all. he would just do it. so it could just be from my past experiences. it may also have to do with the fact that my partner has had MANY, and when i mean many i mean 40+ at 23 years old. having some emotional issues personally could also just effect it.
4902337 tn?1360761137 We are very close so she tallked to me about it. She said that the feeling came out of NOWHERE. It was such a big fear of hers and it kept building up and building up until it got to the point where it was affecting her life. She would let any male get close to here without here having mini anxiety attacks. I sat her down and told her that she had a choice. She could either let that fear destroy her confidence day by day or she can be pro-active and do something about her fears.
Avatar m tn To move beyond your feelings of jealousy you are going to have to bravely confront and overcome your own feelings of insecurity. Jealousy and the fear of being cheated on is something you are carrying around within you. Which means, nothing your girlfriend does or doesn't do will actually make these feelings go away. We often think that other people should change the way they act to make us feel better; but this just makes them feel manipulated, controlled, and eventually resentful.
Avatar n tn How often do you initiate sexual contacts? What type of negative affects do you fear? How often did you have sex prior to moving in together? What type of affects do you fear?
Avatar m tn She has been very patient with me through all this me causing problems at home having emotional meltdowns of fear to be left .....again. I am at the end of the rope and dont know what i can do to stop this irrational fear...and want to know if these thoughts are irrational based upon what i have explained. I just want to fix all this one way or another.
595125 tn?1219834270 What you descrive is a panic attack when you have this intense fear, then you become afraid of the fear and so on until it becomes a vicious circle. You came to the right place! You should browze a lot of these threads as you will quickly see that you are not alone in your fear and anxiety and you will perhaps learn from how others have coped with it.
Avatar f tn I cant imagine how awful this must of felt... i really duno any advise i nevea been through this. I would of freak out n loss it . But be strong for ur baby cuz ur baby needs u the most. I hope things work out for u.
Avatar f tn I would recommend seeking the help of organizations that deal with battered/abused women so that they can help you devise a plan of action for you and your children. Do you have family who you can confide in about this? I will not condone staying with an abuser as it is NOT a safe environment for you or your children, however, on the other hand, leaving can be just as dangerous. Definitely seek the advice of a professional that deals with domestic violence and do this ASAP!!!!
Avatar f tn I have the same problem with my husband. He has season tickets to his favorite football team where we live, so majority of sunday's are spent there during the season with his dad. Then of course there is baseball where he goes to several games and watches on TV. When both of those are not enough their is basketball...lol. I never had an issue with it and love going to the games even though I don't like sports I like the parties outside while tailgating... I never want to go in.
1323549 tn?1276178147 Oh my Dear, Your SPECIAL ONE is out there for you! You are still very young and have many wonderful years ahead of you. ( I know it's hard to think of them as wonderful when you are in pain but they can be fi you let them!!) You are fortunate that you found out when you did about your last Girlfriend. She didn't have the maturity to handle an adult relationship like you do. Please believe me WHEN she comes along you will KNOW IT!!
Avatar n tn We dated briefly in the beginnig but as young relationships do it fizzled out. We managed to be friends on the other hand. I've always loved this girl and she has my heart. We've both lived very full lives in this time we've known each other and have been through much. Just not been through much together until now. I moved away to NY and things were going "ok". Better in some areas than others.
5623087 tn?1377889284 Im sorry, i just dont understand. It kinda seems like its his way of basically checking out of the situation. Thats kinda what it sounded like to me. Maybe im wrong? I just feel like whether you guys continue to work things out or not, he is still financially responsible. You need more than his word. I know from experience.
Avatar n tn first of all...i have no choice but to not feel sorry for you!! You have five weeks until your baby comes and you stayed home drinking!!! That is not an option when your pregnant...im sorry but its just not!! You should have found another way to comfort yourself like call a friend or family member!! write down your feelings or something but to risk harming your unborn child?? I doo not agree with it at all...as for your b/f you told him to go..
Avatar f tn I judge the seriousness of an argument with my wife based on whether or not I barf an hour or so after the fight is finished. I know EXACTLY what that feels like. I never realized I had anxiety as I've always had a nervous stomach, but that's the hardship of living with anxiety- until it gets completely out of hand, we all find ways of masking the issue.
1637754 tn?1300583136 So I work midnighs and later this after noon my boyfriend woke me up like normal and and told me the time and said im going to a friends tonight and the first thing i said to him was cant you spend anytime with me then i started crying now i am with him every day all the time we live together and have the best relationship we have been together for 2 yrs and we never fight maybe 10 times in those 2 years and i have no trust issues or nothing like that or had no problem with him going but as soon
648720 tn?1227637088 Dont beat yourself up about it, there are definitely some people who just cannot understand mental problems no matter what you do, even if it comes from the mouth of professional. I have had problems with relationships in the past, but then I have only just been diagnosed and started meds, so Im hoping things will go better now. Of course you can have a meaningful relationship with Bipolar, in fact many people on this forum do have them.
Avatar f tn I'm newly diagnosed with BP II. I feel confused & really bad for my most recent relationship. He won't talk to me anymore which is causing episodes. We work together so I occasionally run into him which also causes episodes. I'm afraid I'll never find someone who wants to be with me or if I do that I'll ruin the relationship. The last one was ruin mutually by both of us. I just wish I could stop obsessing about it.
