I"ve destroyed an early relationship with my anxiety

hello
I have just been dumped again. We had only been together a few weeks, but things were intense (on both parts) and I know we both wanted a future together (as far as we could tell). We were so well-matched, and he was the first man I have liked for ages. He had so many good points, and was perfect for me.

We communicated a lot by text and at times I guess I was insecure or anxious and even though he would reassure me, I would continue. This week, we had a lovely time together, but afterwards he seemed a bit down about things (he has a lot going on), and I misinterpreted it and sent a few messages saying perhaps we should take a break if he wasn't ready for a relationship, and I wasn't sure how to support him.
He was reassuring, but I continued, and the next day I didn't hear from him (had never happened before with us), so I texted and asked him to be straight with me ... and he broke up with me :(
I have apologised, explained about my anxiety/insecurity, told him the action I'm taking to resolve my issues, asked him to give me another chance ... but he is absolutely adamant that he doesn't want to continue. I am so so upset. I realise it's only been a few weeks, but the intensity of feelings and hope for the future were there for me.

Please please be kind, I am beating myself up for it being all my fault, and this on top of the sadness is so hard to deal with.

Get counselling for the root of your issues.... none of you should be dating for now at least
