Any one out there dealing with panic / anxiety attacks?
Hello everyone, I have unfortunately been dealing with general anxiety and anxiety attacks for a while now, not only related to relationships but I recentely figured this is one of my triggers. About a year ago I learned about attachment styles and immediately related to the Fearful Avoidant style. It was a relief in a way to finally understand what was going on and that I was not alone, and at the same time anxiety inducing because I realised this would probably never change no matter who I was dating and it wasn't something easy to fix. I am 29 and never had a serious relationship, I've been on and off on the dating apps but even just talking to people makes me anxious because my brain just begins to spiral into "what ifs" and I immediately try to find flaws in the person so I can just cut contact. The fact that I have a general anxiety disorder makes it all so much worse because it has caused me to have anxiety attacks and makes me feel even more hopeless. Was just wondering if anyone out there is dealing with the same? Almost feel like I should just give up and just be lonely forever.
