IMO - I feel that what you are going thru is normal and that it will lessens its hold on you once you find an outlet to help with some of your anxiety....... what do you like to do? - along or with a friend.
I was once as you are now and in time I learned that I did not need my b/f (now husband) around as much as my inner wounds were trying to make me feel that I did.... I like being with him now and yet I like my private time away from his as well - it is good for both of us to have other outlets than each other.
.... btw - I look forward to his Saturday Paintball Matches now - it give me about 6 hours of me/relax time and then we are back together to enjoy our love with each other, which by the way is made better when we are absent from each other presence from time to time.
LoVe................................... is GOOD!
