i've been struggling with this for years now. and i know i'm not alone. 

when a new relationship starts to be good, that's when the anxiety kicks in. i'm not really the "text-me-every-minute-every-hour" kind of girl but my anxiety is turning me into this "tell me you like me everyday" kind of girl. my partner knows about this and he understands my constant need for re-assurance. he doesn't mind being involved in it but a part of me can't help but think that he'll eventually get tired of it and I KNOW that i can't be like this forever. 

i don't want to be in constant fear of abandonment anymore. i actually want this relationship to work because i've had my chance before with great guys but my fear of abandonment would always lead me to end things with them. and i was always fine with letting them go because i know they deserve far better. but this time, i actually want to make it work. 

so what do you do to handle anxiety when youre in a relationship?
