Whenever I start dating someone I genuinely like. I start to get nervous, I overthink, and I just cannot stop thinking about it. 

I started dating someone new a few weeks ago and I really like her. My anxiety makes me feel guilty for liking someone in such a short time. She takes long to reply to my texts and I start to freak out. It shifts my mood and I become angry, irritable, and I can’t control my thoughts. I become incredibly anxious and after a couple of dates, I told myself it won’t work and I try to preserve myself by telling myself it won’t work. 

She expresses interest in me but my anxiety tells me otherwise and I just think the worst. I judge myself and it takes so much energy out of me. I tried writing my thoughts down and I start to think I am my thoughts. What do you guys do about this?
