General Developing anxiety

[Bag123]

Have any supporters, particularly partners, developed any sort of separation anxiety with their PTSD sufferer? If so, would you share how you think it developed and how you’ve dealt with it / over come it?

Therapy is certainly needed, but just interested in others situations? Is this anxiety development common / normal?

Developed anxiety? No. I had GAD and panic disorder before we started dating. Did some of his behaviors set it off? Yup.

I had to realize that I cannot make myself crazy because of him. I had to let it go and be at peace with the fact that if he bailed, he bailed, and I would live. I cannot force him to stay. I cannot control him. I can only control my own reactions. My own mental health had to come first.

I love him to pieces. We’ve been together more than a decade. He’s my world, but if he left I would be OK. I’d grieve and move on.

Thy survived this long, without me.

Everything I do? Is bonus.
