Everytime I have an anxiety attack, I feel like I always have the urge to run to my bf for safety. Is this wrong? I feel bad

Question

Everytime I have an anxiety attack I always feel like I need to run to my bf for safety. But I feel like it could be "too much" for him if I do this all the time, so I try not to bother him and end up never really texting him or opening up about it. 
Is it wrong to open up about my anxiety with him, or should I seek help?

Answer

I do the same thing with my husband. I think it's fine as long as you are also learning ways to help yourself.

Answer

No, it is not wrong at all. Your SO SHOULD be your safe place. You should try talking to him about it and explain why you shut him out during those times, tell him that he makes you feel safe and you just need him to be there for you when you are having those attacks.

Answer

He is your safe place but you should also get help

Answer

It’s not wrong at all. My husband is my safe space when I’m having a panic attack or anxiety attack. We have communicated about it though, and I have told him exactly what I need when I run to him. This way, he is not caught off guard, he doesn’t feel overwhelmed, and he also knows exactly what he can do to rectify the situation or to help me: which is usually just holding me and reminding me to breathe and giving me words of affirmation. 
That’s probably going to be different with you, based on what you need, but I’d communicate with your boyfriend just like that. If you both are on the same page, I don’t think it’s wrong at all, just don’t blindside him constantly or set him up for not meeting your needs

Answer

I'm like this with my husband. If I have a bad onex all I want is cuddles and to lay with him and he happily comes to lay down with me

Answer

It’s wrong but it’s wrong because it’s unhealthy for you more than anything to do with him. It’s unhealthy to attach your entire sense of safety to another human.

Answer

This is me as well
