If this is the wrong flair, I apologize!

I've always had a very hard time communicating my needs in a healthy/mature way, but I finally did it!  

As stated in a [previous post](https://www.reddit.com/r/BPD/comments/gzhbde/im_really_exhausted_also_advice_please/), I've been having a hard time lately.  I finally approached my boyfriend, told him how I felt, told him that a little reassurance every once in a while would help keep me calm during times like this where he's very busy and can't talk to me a lot throughout the day.  Despite my worries that he'd be upset, angry, yell at me for expressing my feelings/concerns, etc.  he was very understanding and reassuring.

I feel very at peace.  I still feel a little guilty for assuming he'd be upset or yell at me because he's never EVER done anything like that, it's just a fear that has kind of followed me from past relationships.
