Hi my name is Betty and I have GAD, and I take Xanax.

My boyfriend and I live together and have been since July 08. Here are somethings that really set off my GAD or makes it worse.

1. When my boyfriend says he wants to go Amarillo Texas to go have lunch or dinner somewhere, then after awhile, he is not sure he wants to go or says he just does not know what he wants to do but just knows he does not want to sit around the house.

Its like I just wish he would just decide because with the GAD, I have to know ahead of time of whether we are going or not, instead of the last minute, because it makes my GAD worse if he decides at the last minute. 

2. When he asks if I want to go to Amarillo and when I say not really he acts like he is ok with it, but then he acts like he is upset with me by not talking to me for awhile.  That makes my GAD worse, then I end up crying and really depressed. Takes me the next day to fully recovery from that.

When he acts that way towards me, I feel like he does not love me anymore and lately I feel like just running away/leaving him because I feel like I am such a BIG burden to him.

He says he loves me very much and does not want me to leave him, but why does he act this way towards me?  I tell him that my GAD makes me feel very ashamed and I wish that I did not have this.

I just wish he would be more understanding and more supportive.
