I've been in a loving relationship with my boyfriend for nearly two years now, but within the past year or so my anxiety levels have begun spiralling out of control. I can't go a day without anxious thoughts filling my head - thinking about him getting bored of me and our relationship, thinking of him seeking out other potential partners, thinking of him wishing he was with someone else other than myself. It gets so bad sometimes that I think it would just be so much easier if I weren't in a relationship at all, but I love and care about my boyfriend so much that this is the last thing I want to happen. I've told him all about my anxiety and he's been very supportive even when I've been acting cold and starting arguments with him over these thoughts. It really feels like these thoughts are completely taking over my life and are changing me as a person into someone I really do not want to be. I have tried a few self help strategies which helped a little in the short term but my anxious thoughts have come back stronger than ever each time.
Has anyone found a way in which to overcome these thoughts? I know I am not alone in feeling like this and am looking for anyone who can relate to these feelings
