I like my girlfriend and don't want to leave a relationship too hastily, especially because this extremely uncomfortable state came on so suddenly without much cause following a very good point. It seems like something else. I haven't tried yahoo answers but I don't know how they are at dealing with relationship problems that may be caused by anxiety or depression vs. simple incompatibility.

This site is for anyone you don't need a diagnosis. I THINK what hamster might have been getting at (correct me if I'm wrong hamster-banster) is that if you're on the site for other reasons as well ie anxiety that maybe you need to ALSO look at those problems... also I think Hamster was looking for further explanations as to your anxiety-like symptoms so that we can better understand what's going on. It's hard to give advice sometimes without more info =)

As far as your relationship - I wonder if you have talked to the girl about this? Also I'm wondering since your feelings came up so quickly after the idea of engagement - that this trigger some kind of insecurity you feel about the relationship. There's no set time that you *must* become engaged - maybe you are not yet ready?
