New relationship
I've been in this relationship for about five months and I think it's making my anxiety and depression worse, despite my medication. He hasn't done anything wrong and has been extremely supportive, but I can't help but to think about all the catastrophic things that might happen in our future. It's exhausting to balance that worries about my academic and professional pursuits.
@PetuliaE Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings 😊You mention feeling your mental health is not on a good place in your relationship with your boyfriend. You find him supportive and say you have catastrophic thoughts. To help yourself you can reflect in general what your expectations are from relationships? Compare and contrast past relationships to your current ones? Making decisions and thinking things through take time. Make sure you follow what is in your heart. You are welcome to explore your thoughts further with one of our amazing listeners or therapists on our site.
