Question - (19 March 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 19 March 2011)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

i posted here a few weeks ago, scared about feelings for my current boyfriend, after i was repeatedly hurt by my previous boyfriend, he cheated on me, liked other people constantly and then left me, when i should have left him long ago, and i know for a fact, that my new boyfriend is perfect, he wouldn't ever hurt me, and i think that i am in love with him, however, i think i am getting signs of relationship OCD, such as constantly doubting my feelings for him, constantly thinking i need to break up with him,but knowing i don't want to, all of my friends have said that they can tell i want to be with him, its just my own head and thoughts that are getting in that way.

I am always worrying about it, and my stomach is always off, and its effecting me when i am around him, and i don't want that, i want everything to be perfect, when i'm around him, and therefore, i get frustrated, i've started hating myself, and the temptation to cut myself is unreal.

the only other thing i could think of, that it is likely to be is the pill that i am on (Loestrin 30) as it is known to cause anxiety in people, and i've only been on it for four months, and my blood pressure has increased over this period too.

before i got into a relationship with this boy, i really liked him, wanted to be with him all of the time, and just loved talking to him, however as soon as the relationship started, so did these feelings, so i have a pretty strong thought that it could be relationships.

A female reader, omihli Greece +, writes (19 March 2011):

I find it very reasonable for someone who has been mistreated in the past not to be able to trust again with the same ease. Truth is that nowdays everything must be done quickly, cause our lives are in a great spead. We sometimes force ourselves to make things go faster either because we long for what we call the real thing or because we need our emotional life be sorted so as to be more productive in other fields. Though one should just be more selective and carefull cause in order to trust your heart to another person you need to know them first.So just take your time and don't rush into things.Since you are allready involved then try to calm yourself down and be sure that each person is a uniq individual so things won't just repeat themselves. Especially when you ve got great signs that this man is actually treating you nicelly.Try not to distroy the hole thing and just enjoy every single loving moment you share.
