Anxiety Issue

NAS80457

Just wondering if anyone else has trouble with this.

I’m not going to pretend I understand my situation extremely well or can quote exactly what it is that I am dealing with, but it is something that I’ve been struggling with for a few months now.

For context, I ended an extremely toxic (four year long) relationship about 8 months ago, slowly making strides to get over it. One of the things I’ve noticed lately aside from my general anxiety and panic attacks, is that whenever I’m in a certain place we used to be back at my hometown, (even though she’s nowhere to be found) I still get extremely anxious and fidgety.

It’s just a tad concerning. It’s not like on the level of a panic attack or anything, but it’s a general feeling of insecurity and fear. Just wondering if for one thing, anyone has dealt with a problem like this recently, And for another, if there are any tips to help lessen or be rid of it.

God Bless.

  • It's kind of normal and will fade, eventually.

    I'm going through a divorce and all sorts of things around me trigger emotions and upsets because they tap into memories, both good and bad. These things take time to process and resolve. But they do, in the end. It's why they say time is a great healer, even though that always feels like no comfort at all while you are going through it.

    Toxic relationships are always worse on that score. I had one like that decades ago. There might be a little undoing of the negative views about you that this person may have projected necessary here to make the anxiety go away.

    Some autism informed counselling to look at where the anxiety aspects are tapping into the history of your relationship might help.
