Just another rant about how fucking stupid this thing is

Gonna jump on this thread because I identify so hard with this! Starting seeing this girl 2 months ago, I like her a lot and she's caring and fun and understands mental illness better than I do, but I've been dealing with soooo much relationship anxiety recently.

If she doesn't text for a couple hours, or checks messages but doesn't respond, or seems frustrated or moody in person, immediately I get anxious that she doesn't like me, she's gonna end the relationship, our relationship won't ever feel right again, so many cognitive distortions. And yeah, just the thought of her hanging out with other people sometimes can make me feel bad.

Low self-esteem and jealousy are A+. Trying to get acquainted with cognitive therapy strategies but logic is currently ineffective.

Even now she's at a concert or something with friends and hasn't messaged for 2 hours, and it's causing me anxiety X.X Although that's partly because I dumped a bunch of emotions on her and I feel bad doing that while she's with friends. And I'm anxious she's gonna get tired of my anxiety and break up with me shrugs
