Download or read book Loving Someone with Anxiety written by Kate N. Thieda and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dealing with an anxiety disorder is hard, but loving someone with an anxiety disorder can be equally as difficult. If your partner suffers from extreme anxiety, they may have panic attacks, constantly be voicing their worried thoughts, or may not be able to participate in social events because of a fear of social settings. No matter how compassionate you are, you may sometimes feel frustrated, unable to help, and even find your own life restricted—all of which can lead to conflict, resentment, miscommunication, and ultimately, an end to the relationship altogether. Loving Someone with Anxiety is one of the few books written specifically for the partners of people with anxiety disorders. The book is designed not only to aid you in helping your partner cope with anxiety and worry, but also to help you take care of your own needs. Inside, you’ll learn the importance of setting healthy boundaries, limiting codependent behaviors, and why taking over roles that make your partner anxious—such as answering the phone, driving, or doing the grocery shopping because your partner feels too anxious to be in public—can be extremely damaging for the both of you. Codependency in relationships with an anxious partner can lead to resentment, anger, and a sense of helplessness on your side. This book will help you and your partner overcome these negative behaviors, build better communication and a stronger personal connection. Written by a licensed professional counselor who specializes in helping the partners of those with mental illnesses, this book is the resource that you have been looking for to help you understand your anxious partner and keep anxiety from sabotaging your relationship.

Download or read book Attached written by Amir Levine and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2010-12-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Over a decade after its publication, one book on dating has people firmly in its grip.” —The New York Times We already rely on science to tell us what to eat, when to exercise, and how long to sleep. Why not use science to help us improve our relationships? In this revolutionary book, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel Heller scientifically explain why some people seem to navigate relationships effortlessly, while others struggle. Discover how an understanding of adult attachment—the most advanced relationship science in existence today—can help us find and sustain love. Pioneered by psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s, the field of attachment posits that each of us behaves in relationships in one of three distinct ways: • Anxious people are often preoccupied with their relationships and tend to worry about their partner's ability to love them back. • Avoidant people equate intimacy with a loss of independence and constantly try to minimize closeness. • Secure people feel comfortable with intimacy and are usually warm and loving. Attached guides readers in determining what attachment style they and their mate (or potential mate) follow, offering a road map for building stronger, more fulfilling connections with the people they love.

Download or read book Status Anxiety written by Alain De Botton and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There's no writer alive like de Botton” (Chicago Tribune), and now this internationally heralded author turns his attention to the insatiable human quest for status—a quest that has less to do with material comfort than love. Anyone who’s ever lost sleep over an unreturned phone call or the neighbor’s Lexus had better read Alain de Botton’s irresistibly clear-headed new book, immediately. For in its pages, a master explicator of our civilization and its discontents explores the notion that our pursuit of status is actually a pursuit of love, ranging through Western history and thought from St. Augustine to Andrew Carnegie and Machiavelli to Anthony Robbins. Whether it’s assessing the class-consciousness of Christianity or the convulsions of consumer capitalism, dueling or home-furnishing, Status Anxiety is infallibly entertaining. And when it examines the virtues of informed misanthropy, art appreciation, or walking a lobster on a leash, it is not only wise but helpful.

Anxiety is a word some fear because people call it taboo, but this is the single worst thing anyone can say! In reality, anxiety is a monstrous form that wears different masks.

You feel like every effort to draw breath is pointless. You are scared! My first time experiencing this anxiety convinced me that my heart had failed me. I thought the end was drawing near and my partner would surely find me dead. I felt myself go into a panic, and my thoughts became a speeding train. I could see the lights from this speeding train heading straight toward me. There is no feeling in the world that can compare to this. I felt my world disintegrating before me. My entire life changed after this monster took hold of me. It affected my relationship further and my ability to function, and I found myself alone faster than you can drop a quarter. My partner was gone and would only return for his clothes. I felt my pain resonating through every aspect of my life. It took time to get up and dust myself off; it didn't happen overnight. My connection to new people and repairing my relationship with my partner is the only reason I stand today. That's why I've written this book, to help you stand today, just like me. In this book, you will find: How to recognize common anxiety types; Assistance to take the first step to a stronger relationship by identifying these common triggers; An analysis of the deeply engraved problems that could harm your relationship; Stories from other anxiety sufferers to help you learn that you're not alone; Tips to familiarize yourself with who you are; An understanding of how your past influences your current relationship; The various types of relationships out there such as multi-racial, heterosexual, and homosexual; How to support your partner who's anxious; Simple advice to improve your romantic relationship; Easy steps to follow when dating that could lead to love; How to get out of an irreparable relationship; How to achieve and maintain a good relationship; Knowledge from other people's experiences, including my own, that will help you beat this monster.

You might be asking: "How can I trust a book I find online?" I understand trust is a difficult thing for you to hand out, but this book is written by people who've suffered themselves. No one can understand your pain better than someone who has been through it.
