Why Won't This Anxiety Go Away?
Relationship Stress / by QuietSilence

...See more I know that a lot of people go through bad relationships and some stick to them like animal hair on black clothing. I get that the anxiety from what happened in those bad relationships stick around, but why does it take so much to get rid of it? Why does it stick around in your new relationship, and almost ruin your trust in literally everyone? Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm 15, going on 16 in four months. I maybe young, but my first ever relationship ruined everything after. My first ever relationship lasted for a year. I was 12. In the first 6ish months, it went well, I felt like I found my prince charming in my small town middle school, but I was in 7th grade and he was in 8th. Soon he'd go to high school... My ex started becoming progressively more possessive and became distant when he went to high school and I was still stuck in the middle school. I only later found out that he was cheating on me and I was stuck in a spiral of mental abuse. I won't go into detail but he's the reason I kinda hate myself. Now, let's go to present day, I'm in a loving relationship with a boy I've known for about 5 years now, and just got with 3 months ago. He's made my life so much better, but because of my past relationship. I can't help but always be anxious even if I know I didn't do anything wrong. Do any of y'all have any advice? I want to get better and be able to trust my partner more... I'm just always anxious he'll be like him..
