I found it ironic that this topic was so fresh.
About 6 weeks ago, a weird feeling came over me. My girlfriend had a bad day and expressed that she thought I was unhappy and that she wished we would’ve signed a six month lease. (She later explained that she thought I missed Texas and thought I should spend some time down there with my best friends before we settle down and begin our lives together in a couple years). We have been together 3.5 years and lived together for 2.5 yrs.

Since that conversation…IT…began.

I have headaches, nervous stomach, inability to concentrate at work, images of her run through my head like a demented slideshow, and sometimes I am even late to work because I cant bring myself to let her go in the morning. I have cried randomly on two occasions since this mental state became prevalent.
We have talked about this matter twice but she says she can’t relate, she says one of the main reasons she likes that we do separate things is because she gets to “miss” me and that makes her happy. She suffers from GAD but has learned to deal with it as it onset when she was 12.

I normally quietly quell these but sometimes I lash out at her for spending time away from me, and I immediately regret it. This is not me, I am not comfortable in this skin. I just want to go back to how I was for my own sake, and my relationship.
