I’m a FA - what now?

advice

I’m a 25 year old male. I’ve always struggled with relationships and a very deep/emotional situationship with a fearful avoidant recently made me realise that I’m also a FA. This explains so much and made me realise how I deactivate in stable relationships as soon as they trigger something in me and it explains why I either chase/obsess or distance/flight.

I am currently in therapy and understanding my patterns very well and I really wanna get a safe and stable family one day. However, it seems very very hopeless whenever I read about FA’s. And I think if I continue down this road of spiralling i’ll probably end up giving myself a depression.

Tell me the truth - am I doomed in love? Will i forever deactivate to the point of hating my safe partner and will i only get drawn to someone I have to chase?

I really wanna hear you’re experience and especially if it’s possible to live a safe and stable life - because right now everything seems hopeless.
