Unhealthy Anxiety in A Relationship

To be in a relationship is a great feeling as you express your affection to someone and in return, you're loved back. The feeling of being in love is great, especially when the partners are in chase of each other. Apparently, at times this gets into the mind of some partners. Then anxiety sets in the relationship. Relationship anxiety is real that has split many relationships. Below we'll be discussing some mistakes people with relationship anxiety should avoid.

Always Want To Be In Control Of  Everything

The worst form of anxiety in a relationship is the urge in an individual to control everything in a relationship. Do you do that? This urge can really get out of hand at times and may leave your relationship shakey and filled with fights as well as grudges. Desist from doing so in case you do this.

You Often Want To Change a Situation

For building a strong and healthy relationship, the best thing you can do in a relationship is to stop making changes in situations that come naturally to your partner. If your partner is very social, don't try to stop him/her or make their life revolve around yours; that is just shallow.

You Don't Realize Your Mistakes

Maturity comes with realizing your mistakes and figuring out how these mistakes could be affecting your partner. Realizing the effect of your mistakes, you can then implore and motivate yourself to stop committing them.

Do You Occupy Your Thought With Doubts?

Doubts are formed in anyone's mind, but the key to tackling them is not allowing them to occupy your mind or mask your reasoning. In case you have a slight doubt in the mind, that your man may be cheating on you then stop it in the roots rather than helping it build to the point of destroying the relationship.

You Over-Analyse Issues

This can be applied to the above situation. Over-analysing stuff and issues could always make a situation sound more alarming than it really is. If you agree with me it's obvious that this could undermine the strong and healthy relationship you want to build. So I admonish that you stop doing this and live in the moment.

Do You Allow Your Past To Creep In...?

One of the major reasons why most people experience anxiety in their relationship is because they let the demons from their past creep into their present-day relationships. This is very unhealthy; don't let the demons of your past distort your present experience.

Figure Out What Triggers You

Everyone has certain triggers that make them go wild. These triggers work against you in your relationship and may create hostility over love. The key to dealing with these triggers lies in recognising what triggers you and then stopping the reaction.

There Is No One You Can Confide In

Having a vent buddy can do wonders in a relationship. Knowing that you have someone who you can confide with and share your worries with is of great help. May never know how helpful this could be until you have someone who can positively influence you. So, instead of poking the bear go vent the frustration out somewhere else.

You Don't Have Hobbies

The worst thing to happen for any anxious person in his/her love life is to have no hobbies and then have a lot of idle time. There is no doubt the idle time could aggravate situations and make your mind wander out towards numerous conclusions.

It's Difficult For You To Let Go

Do you want your significant other to give you something that you desperately want and you're not getting it? Why not consider "let go"? It is beneficial for you to let things go. Don't hold over things that aren't going to happen in your relationship. It will definitely distort your reasoning and attitude.

You Don't Know When To Walk Away

You may not be able to comprehend this right now, but recognising when to walk away can be really good for you in your life. Don't stay in a vicious cycle of contempt that will not improve with time. This could be atrocious for your personality and life. Desist from it.

Do You Take Substances?

If relationship anxiety is getting in your head, the best thing to do is being calm and collected rather than over-dosing on substances. Over-dosing on substance isn't the solution at all. Mind you substance abuse would only make matters worse for you, your life and the relationship.

Don't Think Twice About Been Honest

Demons from the past could make anyone become a compulsive liar. But, this is not good for anybody. The real fruits of a relationship are dependant on being honest and accepting your faults and flaws. Don't hide anything, and you would be good as you work on yourself to become a better you.

You Think That It's Always You

Relationship anxiety is felt by a lot of people. The earlier you realise that you aren't alone the better, and easier for you to overcome it. Maybe your own partner might be feeling anxiety, which is why letting your anxiety go can make wonders in life.
