Seeing someone new, think there is some serious potential, and for some reason it’s stressing me TF out. My anxiety is through the roof and overthinking is at a max. I’m usually so much more cool, calm, and collected (and definitely wasn’t this way when we first started talking). What is wrong with me and how do I make it stop 🥲 Don’t want to sabotage things just because all of a sudden I came down with the crazies.

For a little more context, we’ve been on a number of dates and have been hanging out together for several months now. No issues there, it’s honestly always a pretty great time when we see each other in person. We have tons in common, conversations are flowing, great chemistry, etc.

It’s the in between seeing each other that’s driving me crazy. Like, are we texting enough? Too much? In the beginning we texted a ton, now we text less but see each other more often. So then my mind starts overthinking if we are making too many plans together? Not enough? Is this moving too fast and is it going to blow up? Is it moving too slowly?

My mind is literally all over the place and I don’t know why. I want to get back to the “whatever happens, happens, let’s just enjoy the present” mindset but the last few weeks that’s been derailed. Hopefully they haven’t picked up on it since I’ve been deflecting it all at my friends, who I’m sure think I’m a nut job at this point.

This exact same thing happened to me for like the first 4 months of my current relationship. At month 6 and things have totally settled down now and are just wonderful. :) you’ll get there!
