How do I stop feeling worried?

DP and I have a lovely relationship and he’s so so supportive of me. From the off we have had incredible chemistry, he never made me second guess anything and it was all just so easy. It still is that way and I feel really lucky to have someone so lucky.

I know that in relationships things calm down and settle, and I have no doubt that he loves me. We’ve been together 10 months now and I can’t help but see the texts at the very beginning and feel sad. He would text things like “you’re the most incredible person I’ve ever met😍😍” and “I miss you so much I’m literally itching to see you❤️”.
Now he still makes me feel so loved but there is a little difference eg he will just say “excited to see you later x” or “you alright xxx”. He will text me less frequently while he is working or doing his own thing. Which is fine of course!

I sound pathetic I know, as I know things aren’t always going to be fairytale! Deep down I know, I just stupidly worry a lot that it’s not always like that. I had to delete TikTok as well as I always see videos of couples seeming loved up and it turns out they were cheating or fallen out of love etc etc.

I’m fully aware these are my insecurities and deep down I know that as long as I feel loved, that’s all that matters. But how do I stop worrying?

This is typical in a relationship. You were in the honeymoon stage at first where you can’t get enough of each other. Now you’re both comfortable and happy. I can go a full day without hearing from my husband so j think his little texts are cute.
You’re bound to miss the honeymoon stage but you’re moving into a much better stage where toy both feel comfortable, happy and relaxed with each other. You don’t feel the need to constantly impress each other.
Try not dwell on the past and look forward to all the exciting things tk come in your relationship.

Have you posted this already? Not that it really matters, but some of it is very familiar and I wondered why the advice you got on the other thread didn't help, if so.

Thank you @Hiddenvoice that’s really helpful!
And no I haven’t posted before I’d be interested to find that thread if it was similar!
