I suffer from social anxiety disorder, its hard to deal with because I think very negatively and always feel like something is wrong. He's a great guy don't get me wrong, he just dosent understand sometimes. He has a hard time opening up emotionally, and thats fine. I don't expect him to be able to or make him. I just have a hard time explaing to him where I'm coming from with everything. Communication is sort of an issue with us, I don't hear from him as much as I should and it kind of bothers me. He always tells me not to worry as much as I do, or that I don't need to feel like anything is wrong. He dosent know the depth of my situation, he just thinks I worry. He dosent know that i have an anxiety disorder..I don't want to feel like I have a "problem" by telling him. I feel so stuck...I could really use some help. Reply to this Question

 Tell him. It's a good test. An anxiety disorder is not an STD. You didn't choose it. You deserve to be respected, that includes your anxiety. In my opinion anxiety has advantages. Believe that you are valuable, and that part of that valuable is anxious. Why hide it?
