I have an anxious / avoidant attachment style due to trauma as a young child (under 5). My therapist and I thought it may be time to start trying to date again. However I am also disabled at the moment (the dating thing came before the disability came into play). I’ve been talking for over a month with one man. And this is usually when things fall apart and they start loosing interest and fade away. The only way they stay interested is if I continue the conversation. And I want a two sided relationship. I really feel my anxious side kicking in and I’m afraid it’s happening again and the shoe is going drop. I hate feeling like this and I don’t know what to do to stop it. I feel like it makes me needy and he always has to reassure me. I hate it

I know your feeling there. Almost like you're just waiting every second for the next bad thing to go wrong. It's a defense mechanism, and usually it's just your brain being lame due to conditioning from past trauma. Im sure that nothing too bad will happen, and it's probably your mind playing tricks on you. You'll be okay, and you're not alone
@murphysloan I agree and I’m feel like it’s a defense too. I just need to find the right tools to fight it
