panic attack in relationships?
I really am looking for anyone who is willing to help me or has the same problem I have. Ill try to use as much detail as possible. In the past a lot of my relationships have not lasted very long. This is due to me having very high anxiety and over thinking way too much. The minute i start to like a girl I start getting really bad anxiety and can't help but to over think everything. I met this girl who is probably everything i can ask for. She a lot like me in so many ways. The minute i start thinking about a relationship with her, i start to panic and immediately don't want to talk to her anymore. why do i always get this way? is it commitment issues? Am i just not ready or am i just not as crazy about her or not attracted to after all? i no these might be stupid questions but i just don't no why I'm feeling this way.
Ive been on medication for my anxiety for 4 years now and it works great and has changed my life, but only situations like this seems to trigger it.

You are afraid of rejection or failure, so you sabotage yourself and end the relationship before it even begins. It's not uncommon, and will get better with age and experience. Probably the best thing you can do is just not make dating a priority at all. Make friends with girls instead. Eventually you will meet someone you are so comfortable with that the anxiety won't be a problem.
Otherwise, if you are having panic attacks on a regular basis, not just over girls, you may have an anxiety disorder. You should see a counselor.

Panic/anxiety attacks are usually due to fear.
If you can't control them or snap out of it, then you need to seek medical help for it.
I get too get them, but can seem to talk myself out of it by weighing the pro's and con's and also, "what's the worse thing that can happen?" thinking.
By the way, if this helps any........most situations are not life or death. If you happen to make a mistake, 99% of the time it's fixable.
So let's assume you keep dating the girl you like. You get married. You have kids, etc.
This decision is not life or death. And in the long run, it will most likely make you happy.

I've sort of have the same problem. Once I talk to this girl I seem to forget what to say. I say your nervous and that's it. Again, I've got the same problem. I try to act normal around them and not get into the relationship part of it too much. Hope this helped :)
