Are you afraid you will be abandoned? :cry:


Yes I am very much afraid to be used and let go.....At the same time, if someone gets too close I pull away.....

If you are clingy and you have tendency to pull away when someone begins to care for you, it sounds as though you have multiple issues and you need to resolve for yourself before you involve others.
Come to terms with what you want before you move forward. If it takes professional help, then do yourself a favor and seek professional help.
Right now you are missing out on a wonderful life and great people. Think of yourself first and take care of YOU :heart:

Some of you may know who I am by some of the posts and replies.
I am in dire need of advice and most likely help.
I met this wonderful, caring man on the site...And honestly thought that I was ready for that new chapter in my life.But it happened again........It...My issue, my problem, my condition...I was finally able to pinpoint it after pretty much 30 years of devastating, meaningless relationships. It is called Fear of Abandonment...And also Abando-phobism...If any of you out there deal or have dealt with this, please feel free to give me your insights, I 'll take all the help I can possibly get right now. I want to address it and be able to moe on without hurting someone else or/and myself.
Thank you in advance.flowerforyou


Is this what you've been diagnosed with? Have you talked to a professional about it? If not, maybe you should. We all need help from time to time. flowerforyou

I tried to email you to thank you for the advice but I don't fit the criteria:wink: Anyway, I am going to seek professional help. I just wanted some input from other people, it's good to listen sometimes...Thanks again

I'm not joking or being sarcastic -- you might really think about sitting down and talking to a therapist. Anti-anxiety medicine might not be appropriate since, from at least what you've said, your anxiety is limited to this one instance.. But they're best able to help you get over this. It's going to take some time, and will involve you really delving into what's caused this to develop and you coming up with a plan to get over it. It can be done!
