someone is unable to shower, brush their teeth or keep up with their hygiene.

until we're talking about personality disorders.
until someone with an eating disorder doesn't fit a stereotype.

until we're talking about reckless behavior.

Anxiously attached lovers panic and protest when they sense any sign of distance or disconnection, real or perceived. If you are an anxiously attached partner, nothing is wrong with you - it's a coping mechanism you've developed to fulfill unmet needs. This means you can create new coping mechanisms as an adult.

Here's how:
🧠 Learn to soothe our anxieties.
🧠 Make the connection between past experiences and current behaviors.
🧠 Establish healthier boundaries.
🧠 Communicate our feelings and needs in a secure way.
