I (22f) am struggling so hard with not letting my past traumas take over my amazing new relationship. My new fella (25m) is so patient, funny, loving, and encouraging. He is everything I have hoped for in a partner. But deep down I am afraid that my anxiety and need for reassurance is going to scare this ‘perfect-to-me’ man away 🙁
But I’ve got this! We’ve talked about my past, the things that I’ve overcome and the things I still struggle with and I am going to try my best to be a better and more emotionally strong. I’ve started taking my anxiety and doubts by the throat and saying “If he is angry with you, he will tell you. If he is angry with you, he will tell you.”… my all-day worries have been fading so quickly since I started that.
TL/DR: I am working to get over my past trauma even though the fear is still there 🤞
