I've had generlised anxiety disorder for nearly 10 months now. I've recently started dating this guy, who I had know for about a year before. We were very close and I felt that I was in love with him before we started dating. He said something to me, that I took offence to, but was meant as a joke and would have been taken very lightly by most people. From then on I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I've had nightmares and get very anxious when I think about what he said, and just overall depressed. I feel gulity because I want to love him the way I did before but it doesn't feel the same. I was wondering if this may be a disturbing thought that many anxiety suffers are meant to get. When you feel like you can;t control your thoughts. I should mention at the same time a friend decided he didn't want to know me anymore, so that couldn't have just added to stress and sadness. I'm finding to difficult to know exactly what it is that's bothering me, i'm just geting a feeling of depression and some anxious feelings but mostly just depressed mood. Does anyone know if this could be part of my anxiety disorder that i've suddenly don't feel I love the person I loved before? It's confusing me alot.
If anyone could give me some advice it'd be very much apprehiated :)
