I Need Help - My Heart is Always Racing

Postby Aspen1012 » Sun May 20, 2018 3:24 am

Hi guys,

I am new here, and I hope I can connect with some of you who can maybe relate to my symptoms. Let's call me Aspen. I am a 27 year-old female. I live with my fiancé, and I should be happy (and sometimes I am), but I'm really not. My heart is always racing. I've noticed this more and more since I've moved in with my fiancé. I believe I made a mistake saying yes to marrying him and getting this far into the relationship. I've always had anxiety, but being with him has made it worse. I need out, but I'm scared. My heart is always racing, frightened of the future of being alone. I am not a strong woman. At all. I play one at work, but deep inside, I am scared all. The. Time. Every. Day.

Like I said, my heart is always racing. I am always on edge, even when I'm supposedly happy.

All I am looking for right now is some comforting words. As I type this, my fiancé sits in the living room, playing his video games. He's been doing that the last 14 hours. I confronted him on it, and he barked at me, so here I am. Unhappy. I want out.

Hey there, just wanted to say you're not alone. I'm also 27 year old female and have really bad anxiety because of potential of a relationship. He said he wanted marriage and children too and i chickened out. But now im scared of loneliness. So i kind of understand, i think.
Right now, i think you're having an anxiety attack. It's going to pass eventually , so just try to breathe. My therapist adviced me to write down what i'm feeling on a piece of paper too and it kind of worked. Or you can keep up posting here too.

Breathe slow and deep.
Quiet the heart.
Still the mind and
Focus on what is in front of you.
