Hi, I am 19, I have been in my relationship for 3 years nearly, about a year ago I started getting panic attacks and have come to the conclusion that I have anxiety, I worry about the smallest things but the main thing I worry about is my relationship. In the past I question some of the things that have happened and ask myself if it's cheating? Here is one that plays on my mind quite a lot! I was at a party with a few friends, I had been with my gf about a week, at this party a girl I've know for ages,( before me an my gf had got together we would flirt and have sexual banter) anyway she started dancing on me and grabbed my cock a few times, nothing lead on from this, just want to know if I'm over worrying the whole thing??
@Madmaj,
Didn't this happen three years ago?
Then the statute of limitations on caring at all about it has run out. Seriously consider counseling if this still bothers you.
@jespah,
Thank you for replying.
I know, I tell myself that this was so long ago and I shouldn't stress about it. Like you said it was years ago, am I over worrying about the situation itself also??
@Madmaj,
What situation? three years ago someone acted inappropriately with you.
Forget about it.
@ehBeth,
Yeah that's true :/. I just worry, and I get a horrible thought like that's classed as cheating on my gf, and that gets to me!

I agree re counseling as hanging on to this as something to worry about is, in the kindest wording, very silly, as if you enjoy the anxiety for some reason. I assume you don't enjoy the anxiety or don't know you do, but hanging on to it is weaving complexity from thin air. I'm not trying to make fun, as I used to be scrupulous about close to non existent things when I was a teen, so I understand some of the self tortuous knots one can work up.
@Madmaj,
Do you want to explain how someone touching you means you cheated?
___
If someone shoots and kills you, does that mean you are a murderer?
Really, that makes about as much sense as what you're suggesting.
@Madmaj,
If you are having true panic attacks, there's a lot more behind it than an old relationship.
Describe how you feel during one of these attacks.
