Um... Oh god, this is so embarassing.
I get so worried about my boyfriend, who lives far away from me. If he says he'll be back by the afternoon and doesn't come back till the evening, I spend half the day spazzing out about what might have happened to him.
He's a good guy, and I really trust him. But I can't stop myself from worrying half to death about him.
How do I stop this unnecessary worry?

I used to have a problem quite like that.
Then I went to a shrink and they put my on these pills.
All better now.
Now seriously there is an actual psychologicial condition where you get worried all the time.
It's called something Anxiety Disorder. I never can remember the first part. ><;
But yeah... going to a psychitrist is probably the best solution.

Thanks for your input. Yea, I think I might need to see a shrink... because I get this way about nearly everyone. ._.;;

Well... You could talk with him about it. Ask him not to give you times he -will- be back, and instead say, 'I might be back at noon, but it'll probably be a little later.' to try and give you a little comfort.

I suffer from panic attacks and anxiety attacks as well. I also had to be put on medication for them at one point.
Talking to a doc would definitely help. they'd be able to teach you ways of coping, and/or give you the proper meds to quell them.
I don't have them nearly as often now that my husband is out of the military, but I used to suffer them almost daily when he was in.
It can be something hard to live with, but getting help for it will do wonders for you.

Is it possible that you can ask him to contact you if he's going to be late? Using a cellphone or something similar?

MrMadman Is it possible that you can ask him to contact you if he's going to be late? Using a cellphone or something similar? I would highly recommend AGAINST that method. If you have an anxiety disorder, and she's panicked about where he is anyways, that would just give her the opportunity to call him at all hours and annoy him. You wouldn't want to put that sort of strain on the relationship of "overpossessive" significant other. Anything else I could say has already been said. I have anxiety disorder as well. 3nodding Therapists can help tons, as does medication. I would look into both, though preferably the first option before the latter.

Well... You can stop loving him.
No attatchment = no worry
But assuming that isn't an option... (And that I get my Maths work done in the next... hour... *looks shifty*)
Anywho...
I get panic attacks regularly.
Makes me pass out &/or black out.
And I usually start crying if I go near a group of people which is never fun.
Get the whole can't breathiness too.
Hrmm. The problem is that you aren't entirely sure if they're still there.
I'd suggest phoning... But if you don't get an answer, then that would be worse.
Perhaps, you could ask people when the latest they're likely to be back is?

I know how you feel. I worry a lot as well about things like that. I find what helps me is I just keep myself busy. Do homework or go hang out on the net or spend time with friends. That's the only thing that I've been able to do so far. Hope that helps.

Are you implying that my GF is going to be possessed by an unknown evil and attack me viciously, to which I'll be forced to decapitate her with a shovel, and later use a chainsaw to fully finish the job? Or that she'll be stabbed in the back by my possessed hand that I was also forced to cut off with a chainsaw?
