My boyfriend (M21) and I (F22) have been dating for a couple of months now. He goes to college 1.5 hours away from me and I work full time as well as go to school full time online. So, I can’t always be there. 

I see a therapist every couple of weeks for my anxiety. She always tells me to listen to my heart and not my head if they’re in a battle. My heart trusts my boyfriend whole heartedly. He has not given me a legitimate reason not to trust him. But my head is making me have bad dreams because on weekends if I can’t go there to a party because I have too much work, my mind is constantly racing. “What if he meets someone at school?” Or “What if he doesn’t even want me there?” Or “What is he doing and who is he with?” I can’t help it. I have trust issues, but in my heart I know I trust him. 

Last night his phone died because my texts haven’t gone through yet. This is provoking my anxiety and he doesn’t know it. The other day he got high and passed out on the couch. I get it, things happen. I just don’t know how to go about it. Do I be open and say how what I’m thinking? I don’t want to drive him in the other direction.
