Ever feel like a crazy psycho stalker?

[lucybelle]

Or like a super insane worrier?

Yesterday I was chatting with my SO on gmail and I was called away and didn't get a chance to say goodbye before he had to go back to work. So I sent him an email apologizing and explaining what happened. No reply. Later in the evening, I sent him an email saying would he want to Skype at a certain time that night. No reply. I waited around for him on Skype and when he didn't get on I started freaking out. It took all the self-control I have to not call him and find out where he was! (we're international so calls/texts aren't cheap or common) I went onto his facebook page (which he rarely uses) to see if anyone posted anything. Well he eventually made it on to Skype and of course he was fine, had just went out with some friends for a few drinks.

Does anyone else freak out when they don't hear from their SO? For a while my SO and I would only email a few times a week, but recently it's become a lot more frequent. I'm used to chatting every day and getting an email or two. Yesterday made me feel crazy.

I get that way sometimes, if we have a certain schedule to call or be online, if I don't already know where he is, it takes every ounce of power in me not to call or text him a million times to find out where he is. But in the end it always turns out to be something simple and I feel silly. If he's trustworthy, try not to stress out too much! Chances are it's nothing huge and theres a valid reason for it. But I get that way too sometimes haha

[lucybelle]

Yeah it's not a trust issue at all! He works with machines and I kept thinking that somehow something fell on him at work, or he got in an accident (they drive crazy as hell down there), or something with his family... just things out of my control, ya know?

awwwweee ur not alone :] worrying means you care

[agentholli]

Yeah, I totally do that. I think its a girl thing.

I feel like this ALL the time especially because I've know my someone SO for almost 8 years- so we spent all of out time together- so when I don't hear from his I kinda sort of lose my mind. Also because the 1st person to befriend him at work was a female- and shes the one that's been introducing him to people, showing him the city and hanging out with him. My problem is I actually trust him! so if he's out meeting people or having a drink after work- it takes everything in my power to not say- "they know you have a girlfriend right?" or when he tells me after the fact that he went out and met all these people. I think I may just be a little jealous I'm not sharing the experience! because we always did that together.

It's a rare occurrence that I panic when I don't hear from my SO and usually it ends with me apologizing as I have a panic attack, think the worst, and call his phone half a dozen times. I do stalk one site we both go on to where it will say the last time they logged in. I basically just do it to see if he's been at the computer at all, it sort of gives me minor peace of mind that he gets a minute to log on somewhere.

[elina]

Yup, used to happen to me a lot when we were LD. To the point that it kinda started to piss me off, being like that I wouldn't hear from him for half an hour and I'd freak out -.- I was like you, I was so used to hearing from him all the time basically or at least know where he is and when he'd be back/when I'd hear from him again and when there was an exception, I freaked out Hopefully won't be needing to go through that anymore

But yeah, you're definitely not alone

[ErinKristine]

It happens to me too. My SO is deployed right now so we have the pleasure of dealing with a finicky internet connection. We'll be chatting on skype and the connection will just go out, sometimes he's able to get back on, other times he's not. I have been getting better at not emailing him right away, I will try to wait, sometimes just skype is weird so we are still able to chat through instant messenger or email.

Sometimes I'm like this, but it's getting better... Before when I was calling and she wasn't answering I was getting crazy, but really, I was scared, stressed...
Anyway, we both know FB, Hotmail and Gmail passwords of the other... I admit, sometimes I send her a message and I check later if the notification is still there to see if she connected

[Butterfly]

I get like this sometimes too.. You are not crazy. I get especially bad when I don't hear from him because we basically are in constant contact.. If not talking, at least texting. On top of that, my SO has a very dangerous job which scares the HELL out of me.

I go into panic mode quite often.. But if I didn't, then I wouldn't really care now, would I?

[sabby64]

I only start worrying after a day or so. He loses/forgets his phone alot so I'm used to it. I'd only start worrying if I knew he was going to be in a dangerous situation or something.

[uniquefem]

Hehe, its happens to me actually two days ago. The thing is.... i get used with his "chat" or phone call also.. we promise to say "nite nite" every night before i go to bed.... and all sudden nothing, no news for over 24hr.
He went back home to Russia, and i know that he must be hang out with his family and friends. We always get in touch, talk for hours every single nights! just about things that happens to us that day...
And i didn't see him over 24 hours no news... nothing...
When i finally saw him online on gtalk, i ask where are you? and he said he was at doctor, and then got dc!
I got so freak out! frustrated because i don't know his phone number in Russia! its drive me nuts!
The next day i saw his offline and said sorry because scared me like that. He said he was ok, he just need to replace his glasses... ohhhh i never feel so relief that when i read that i cry! hahahaha!
He call me too that night... i feel so stupid for being so worry, but... he understand. He left offline when he think he can't chat with me.
Yes... i do feel like a crazy girl that time!

[Sano]

I get like that to but I've gotten better. I've just stopped worrying myself so much and found other distractions. Im not recommended you let him be the one to make contact but its working for me right now. :3

[true_survivor_586]

When we dont talk for a wile i worry sometimes but normally when i do start to worry he gets a little time to tell me everything is fine, i really only worry if its going on 5 days or a week from not hearing from him, other then that its not worth worrying over nothing so i just tell myself to stop being crazy chick lol
