To myoasis89: I have been deeply moved by all of you posts on this thread. I share many similarities with you. I too feel like a burden to my bf, but he also takes care of me. I often am scared of doing anything on my own though. I am a full time college student, living at my mothers house and I am afraid to find a job because I am already stressed out with life. I want to go the therapy, but I don't have the money for it. This is why I seek support here in the internet. All the problem in my head make really strain my relationship, but I am fortunate that I finally found a man who is willing to stick with me. I have gone to couples counseling with him before on his insurance when he had it. I really liked it, and it helped me a lot! I was wondering if you know of any techniques that might help me cope? Thank you for being here.
