I met a girl online a week ago and we actually got together the same day we met. We really hit things off and we decided to hang out the next day as well. I decided that I really like her and I believe that she likes me. We had great conversations and there was some heavy make out sessions. I feel like she had a hard time controlling herself during our make out sessions. Like she wanted to take things further but didn't at the same time. I didn't pressure her either way and I let her be in control. We didn't see each other the rest of the week because she works late hours and I'm in school. However, we also didn't talk much because of her schedule with work. I would wish her a good day at work and that was it.

So on Saturday i wished her a good day at work and she texted back apologizing that she hasn't talked much and that she wants to but she would like to take things slow. Which I said that I respected and I would also like to take things slow. Now it's monday and I still haven't heard back from her. I don't want to text her because I'm scared she will think I'm pushing it but I'm also bugging out because what if it's a way to tell me that she actually doesn't want to pursue things with me. She has also been on the dating site in this time. Idk I don't want to get my hopes up with her only to get heartbroken again.

I feel like if I didn't have mental illness this wouldn't be so difficult for me. I know I'm not crazy but I feel crazy. Has anyone else experience a similar situation before? Any advise?

BW I think this kind of thing is really hard for everyone. I think most of us have the experience of feeling very hopeful and insecure about a new love interest. It's hard to know to what extent the other person reciprocates our feelings and waiting for a reply, not knowing whether to give space or pursue, is not easy. So I don't think it's necessarily because of your mental illness that this is hard.
