Good evening. I have just joined this forum tonight and this the first time I have ever joined one of these. I suffer from anxiety and depression. I have recently gotten into a new relationship, it's been about 2 months. I have such bad relationship anxiety and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and/or has advice on how to calm my anxieties. My boyfriend has done nothing wrong to me. He is a VERY busy man with full custody of two young children, owns his own business, and is in the process of selling his old house and buying a new one. Sometimes he doesn't reach out to me throughout the day as much as I'd like and it bothers me. Makes me think he doesn't care, but I see he is making an effort but I still get anxiety. He ALWAYS says good morning and we talk on the phone at night, but I still feel like it's not enough.I am always worried he will realize I'm not what he wants and disapear. This has been how I have felt in all my relationships so I know it is me. I have also been through many bad relationships and was neglected by my mother growing up. I constantly feel clingy to my boyfriend although I try not to show it. I am 30 years old and am to old to be worrying about such trivial matters. Does anyone have any ideas on how to cope with this or has anyone been through a similar situation? I would REALLY appreciate your feedback. Thanks you all!
