I have the most amazing and incredible boyfriend [18M] in the entire world. We have been together for 15 months nowI love him with everything inside me. I have never felt this much love for someone in my life. The longer that we have been together, the more I’ve realized how much I want to spend time with him. If we could hang out every day, I would honestly be the happiest person. 

When we aren’t together, I have this crippling separation anxiety. I’m okay for about 24 hours without seeing him  before I develop the physical symptoms of anxiety, resulting in nightly crying sessions and a stomach that’s tied up in knots. 

I didn’t realize how insecure of a person I am until i realized how head over heels I love I am. He said no to hanging out today so he could have a family night and I immediately started blaming myself thinking that maybe something I said earlier has made him not want to see me. I’m so afraid that if I’m overly affectionate or overly romantic that he’s going to stiff arm me (even though that’s something he’s never done before). So I’ve caught myself pulling away from him and that is the last thing I want to do. 

Does anyone have any advice for me? How can I cope with this anxiety?
