I've had anxiety for a really long time, and it got especially bad during high school, about five years ago. I've been able to take care of my anxiety myself for a long time, especially because my parents were never that involved in my life. I've learned to cope, and I know what techniques work for me when I'm in an unhealthy state.

That being said, I will admit that my boyfriend has helped me tremendously. It helps to have someone else there who is able to calm me down, hug me and tell me everything will be okay, etc. My boyfriend is extremely supportive and really good at helping me, but where do I draw the line? I'm afraid of becoming too dependent on him because I've always heard people online saying that we need to be able to take care of ourselves and not have to rely on others, as that is where it gets dangerous in a relationship.

I feel like this is some kind of unhealthy attachment style, but at the same time, isn't it bad to rely on others to "fix" me? Because whenever he's not around, I'm going to attach all anxiety attacks to him, and it'll be so much harder to cope with my anxiety without him.
