Dating with Anxiety
My anxiety makes it really hard for me to get over stuff and move one. Last week, I went with a guy and I really liked him. He wanted to hook up and I was not ready and things fizzled out after. I'm not sure if he was just really looking for a hook up or if he just wasn't that into me. I was really into him but there was also some stuff that I don't think I would be comfortable with. Knowing all of this, I still seem to think about him constantly. For me it always just seems like time is the only thing that leads me to fill the over thinking with something else. I go to therapy and am on medication but the overthinking just never ends especially when it comes to getting rejected by guys I like. Does anyone else go through this?

Re: Dating with Anxiety
i've been with my boyfriend for 9 months & i still get terrible anxiety when it comes to certain situations. like over thinking something that he said that really meant nothing or worrying about what he's thinking when i do something & always wanting to look good in his eyes. anxiety is such a difficult thing to deal with just know that if a guy doesn't like you for who you are, then he's not worth being with. or you feel like his intentions are just a hook up, get out of there because no one deserves that

Re: Dating with Anxiety
Have you talked to your therapist about your over-thinking?
I've had (and have) issues with mental health and it can feel like an elephant in the room - when do I tell them, how will they react, etc. I can also over-think something seemingly innocuous sometimes too but apart from talking to the person I also find writing about it in a diary or whatever helpful.
But usually I end up being closed-off and reluctant to let others in most of the time. Even after 5 years with my boyfriend there are still things I don't talk about with him.
Anyway, well done for getting rid of the loser.

Re: Dating with Anxiety
I did talk to my therapist. She reminded me that there is never a set time limit to get over things. That is where a lot of my over thinking comes from. I get made at myself for doing it which causes me to do it more. So logical, right?!
