ok so i have the most supporting boyfriend in the world, he is fantistic. He thinks my worrying is "cute" how can i make him see that what i'm feeling is infact controling my life.

Wish I could advise you on that but it's a difficult one.I get so annoyed when people ask why I feel down,as though its a choice.

My fiance has never dealt with anxiety. His range of emotions is much smaller than mine. At first I didn't try explaining the actual anxiety to him, because explaining that I was a cutter was enough. Once I began controlling the cutting, the anxiety became a bigger problem (I was overcompensating or something like that). I was very blunt with him about the anxiety and about the things that I was feeling. He understood a lot more when he actually witnessed a panic attack, but you can't just make that happen. You may also consider finding information on it for him to read. I explained anxiety like this, "It's like your insides are trying to explode, but your skin won't let it out." I'm a very hands on, physical person so this explanation seemed to work, you may find something else though.
