thanks so much.
You need to get over your fear of being alone and independent. Whether you do that while in a relationship or not is up to you but that's what needs to happen. when you realize you can do it alone, and survive, you will be more apt to be in a relationship by choice rather than need, as in being afraid of being alone. That is only going to make you clingy and anxious as you have experienced.

Truth is the best solution to this is to actually go it alone for awhile but as you already have someone in your life you'll have to find a way to get over these fears while you are in a relationship. A T comes to mind.
