Hi Everyone,

I've been struggling a lot recently especially with my anxiety, I'm very jumpy and scared easily. I'm not going to bed til 3/4 in the morning and sometimes I don't sleep at all or I go to sleep at 7 in the morning. I'm nearly a month in now but I'm already freaking out when I'm out having anxiety attacks when I'm not around the streets of my home if I go to the city centre I feel like I'm being stared out like I shouldn't be there.

I know this isn't the case that anyone know but I feel like they do. I've had no support from my family and they haven't been the easiest to be around and it's been worse recently my nan has sent my partner an aggressive message trying to force him to leave me and never speak to me again and to not tell me she messaged.

My family have been very toxic around the situation and it is really getting me down, the only time I feel happy safe and no pressure is when I go to my partners. Which I have to pretend I'm going to a friends because they send me abusive messages having ago at me. I want to support my parnter because I still love him with all my heart. I believe there is light and we will get through this even when my family are telling me I need to and must leave him.

I know they want what's best for me but they aren't thinking how I feel. This makes my feel anxious to speak to then and I am walking on egg shells when I'm home.

It really is a journey full of emotions you hoped you'd never experience in your life.

I felt desperately sad, lonely, angry, vulnerable, frightened to name a few emotions and physically felt like I'd been hit by a train.

You really have to do what you feel is right for your life and what will give you peace of mind..... even if others disagree with your decision.

Keep strong!
