Yes, I have dealt with anxiety before. While I’m not diagnosed, I believe I have situational anxiety. My girlfriend has generalized anxiety so I don’t know if I tap into her energy sometimes, but regardless she’s been very understanding and it makes communication easier. The difference is she is medicated and I am not.
An example of another time when my anxiety was this bad was when I was dumped in my first relationship, and other relationships never working out past one month.
