Don't be too hard on yourself. Being in a relationship takes work. Your anxiety issues may tire you out.

Step one, know yourself and your red flags.

Step two, talk to your boyfriend. Tell him you have anxiety issues and you need to have some introverted retreat time each week or month.

Step three, keep to the plan... have your planned down time or introvert time where you can focus on you and get some rest.

Or date a shift worker that you can't talk to every day!

Plan some introvert time this weekend. Focus on what you are feeling and why you are feeling it. Don't label the feelings good or bad. Just feel and recognize what you are feeling.

You can have a relationship and still be an occasional introvert who needs a break.
