I (25f) have very bad anxiety, mostly stemming from childhood abuse issues. I was reluctant to date for a long time but recently decided to go on the apps with the intention of finding a stable relationship. I found a guy (28m) who seems to be nice so far (3 months in) but I constantly feel like I might sabotage things with him. Sometimes I feel like I’m too needy or clingy. I start overthinking and spiralling when he doesn’t reply to my texts. Sometimes if his replies have been a bit off, I don’t sleep well. I’m usually pretty good with controlling my anxiety but I hate that I’m losing control of my mental health solely because of someone else’s behaviour towards me. It’s making me think that maybe I should end things with him for my own sanity? But then do I just end up never dating because dating makes me anxious?
Has anyone been able to conquer their anxiety and form a good relationship? Please help me out.

  1. Before you start dating you may want to seek the help of a social worker to help you through your situation

Would be ok/ appropriate to like someone who I matched with on another app months ago? We moved…
