Being Engaged With Ptsd, Self Issues And Love.

[ashdawn8287]

Hi all. I'm currently engaged with a wonderful supportive man. I have a hard time trusting people and over react to stuff. I feel bad. I feel he will leave me. I am scared sometimes and other times it's not even a thought in my mind. He just got diagnosed with adjustment disorder and I feel that is my fault. It all comes back to me and I can't see how to get past that. I feel like I shouldn't even be in a relationship to begin with but I refuse to let this ruin my happy story with love. I am in therapy and I am working on my issues. I'm constantly worried that my baggage will ruin everything for me with love.

I don't really know anything about adjustment disorder, so I can't help you there.

However, your man is with you because he loves you, 'warts and all'. Accept that he loves you, accept that he wants to be with you, and work together to make your relationship a success. Support each other, love each other, and work on your own issues separately and together. You can't help what has happened in your past, everyone has baggage (to varying degree's), but you can improve your present and future by dealing with issues in therapy, and keeping things open and honest within your relationship.

Try to stop worrying about what if's - enjoy the love you have.

Thank you for calming the worry. I will review your kind words whenever I feel like this until I learn to control my worries without constant reassurance.
