What is wrong with me?!

Started seeing a guy a couple of months ago, all going really well! But my insecurities have started creeping in and now I'm second guessing everything! How do I stop my anxieties ruining something that potentially could be really good?
Spent the last few days bawling my eyes out worrying that I'm messing things up!

Help me before I mess it up completely x

The best help you can get is professional. Have you spoken to your gp or a mental health charity? They can really help. Meds can literally be life savers. Talking therapy works. Give yourself a chance and ask for support. Flowers

Does he give you confidence or has he not helped your anxiety?

I'm on venlafaxine, have been for a long time, I just feel so awful this last week 😞 we don't live that close to each other and he has got a lot on at the moment, which is absolutely fine, but it just made me worry that I'm not good enough.
The problem is I'm really starting to like him, but I'm petrified of being hurt, but he hasn't even done anything wrong!
Don't even know when we are seeing each other yet due to kids schedules (both of ours) but immediately I went on the defensive starting to think it was because he wasn't interested lol! Ugh! I could slap myself x

Sometimes if you find you tend to second guess everything with a new relationship, what you say, text, dress, how you look etc... it's because you care and really like the guy. It could be love!!

Also a high stress level and anxiety is another symptom, when we are falling in love stress levels are higher and you can be more 'worked up'. That's just from experience and research x
