I (M21) have been in and out of relationships for the past few years, it wasn’t until I’ve finally found someone who’s incredibly patient and understanding that I’ve felt like I can settle down. We’ve been together only 4 months, but she (F22) always is open to talking and hearing out my troubles and wants, but lately I’ve been feeling like I’m just being too much. She’s done nothing to indicate this but I get incredibly anxious when I’m not around her and find myself leaning on her for everything, even a purpose. I know how unhealthy this is but I don’t know how to fix it. Just recently we’re spending the longest time apart we’ve had with our families for the holidays and I’ve entered a weird depressive episode. How do I learn to be able to be with myself and give her space? How to balance her life and mine? I really want to make this work between us.
TLDR
How can I be less clingy?
