Anxiety
Noticing that you’re often worried someone is upset with you even when there’s no reason to be? Maybe you reread texts, replay conversations or feel intense anxiety when you don’t hear back right away. You want to feel secure in your relationships, but instead, you feel needy, on edge or unsure of where you stand. If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing anxious attachment. Attachment bonds form within early relationships with caregivers and continue to show up throughout adulthood. Anxious attachment presents as fear of rejection, clinginess, emotional flooding. Sound like you?
Help is here.
