So I’ve been seeing this unbelievably sweet guy for about two months now, and he’s been super understanding. I’m coming out of a real low point in my life but I’m finally getting help (16/F), so I’ve been impressively in control for a honeymoon period.

However now that things are settling back in, some of my anxious tendencies are too, and they’re very clingy. For example, he left a snap on read for 3 minutes and I broke and sent him the ‘I’m so sorry I hate being left on read I’m sorry I’m so clingy aaaa’ message. I also entered the cafeteria for the first time in a year with him and practically ran off crying cuz that place overwhelms me so much.

I’m just terrified that this’ll all be too much for him. I’m a lot to handle, especially in a romantic relationship. He’s handling and empathizing with my depression really well but the rest of my problems may seem like too much.

I guess I’m in luck though because he’s mature, healthy, and genuine. I won’t get played this time, but I just want to be sure this is good for him too.
