Stop myself worrying Anonymous 2017-09-08 02:25:24 Post No. 18702776 [Report]

My mum's gone into hospital for good with brain cancer, she'll die very soon.
I'm stressed with assignments, but my lecturers are giving me extensions so I can go see her once a week which is nice
I'm obviously not in the best place right now but I'm doing okay, and my gf/friends have been really supportive

My problem is I constantly feel like my gf (of 1 year) is going to leave me because of all this
She's upset about mum too, and has started being more frustrated/in a bad mood the last couple of weeks because of big assignments due today/Monday.
This is all v understandable but it's sending me into a bit of a worrying spiral:
She says she's going to support me through losing mum, but I keep worrying that I'll get too upset, and start becoming a burden on her, and she'll eventually leave. Then her being in a bad mood couples with me worrying about becoming a burden, and makes me feel like I'm becoming a burden now, and she's already drifting away, and I start worrying even more

I know I'm being dumb, but I can't keep bothering her with my stupid bullshit; eventually it genuinely will damage our relationship:
How do I break out of this spiral?

If she can't handle helping you through your mother's death and thinks you're a "burden" then she is a piece of shit and you need to fucking RUN from this """"woman""""

nah nah she's been crazy supportive of me, since the minute she found out

I should clarify: she wants to help, and doesn't see me as a burden, but I've started feeling almost constantly concerned that I'll become a burden to her; be too dependent n shit; and drive her away in the long run
That's my words tho not hers

She should expect you to be emotionally dependant.
