Hi everyone! I'm new to this sub, but I have suffered from diagnosed anxiety for almost five years. I am medicated and am in and out of therapy. I'm a 20F, and I have recently begun dating for the first time. Not surprisingly, it has become a serious trigger for my anxiety. The other night I had a great first date with a guy. I heard from him yesterday, but he has not replied to my messages today. It's Instagram, so I know when he sees my messages. My rational mind tells me that he's super busy. He's a computer science major, and we left things on a good note. However, I've been hurt by guys before, and my general social anxiety is really getting to me. What would you guys do in this situation? How do you date with anxiety? Thanks in advance!
