Thanks, Ruby. I have been keeping busy, but this is so new in this relatonship that it's hard to focus sometimes, but I am trying.
As you know, with anxiety, little thoughts and fears can become so big if you obsess. I often have trouble with obsessing, but mostly it is not bad.
I do not have to be with someone all the time, but she and I spent large parts of the last 3 of 4 days together so it made saying goodbye (just for 2 days) really hard. We have been dating for nearly 3 months.
I've fallen in love with this girl and that's why it's hard.
When we first met, she went away a couple weeks later and called me twice from across the country. I was so touched. It was easier then because I was not in love with her or was she in love with me yet.
But I did have separation anxiety very seriously as a child. I could not go to school without my Mom and whenever she went out I feared she was not coming back.
And then she died of cancer when I was ten, so you can see where it all comes from for me.
Any other advice or questions you have, just fire away. Gotta get ready for work now.
David
