Anxiety-taking thing’s personally
Hey everyone. I was hoping I could get some support and some advice (if allowed) If not, kind words are more than welcome.
My bf called me this morning in a panic when I was driving to work because the set of keys I had, had the key to our storage unit and he needed something from it before we goes away for the weekend.
In his panic he hung up before I could say goodbye. We texted later and he told me he wasn’t blaming me (which is true). He wasn’t yelling either he was flustered I suppose.
But my anxious brain immediately thinks “He’s upset with me. This is my fault” etc
I hate that I think this way. Luckily I have a session with my therapist today and I will talk to her about it, I just needed to vent about it now.
Anyone else relate to taking thing’s personally?
@sociableSail5480 Yeah, I had some people in my past who blamed me for stuff and kind of forced me to take things personally. It's something I'm trying to undo, but it's a process lol.
Yes, text me on my mail mryarjun25@***.com

Hey friend! It sounds like you feel anxious over the possibility of your boyfriend being mad at you (even if you can rationalize the situation and understand he's not). Anxiety is invasive and encroaches on our WISE brain. You are not alone. The way you feel is completely understandable. Anxiety is hard to manage alone, don't hesitate to reach out!
