Anxiety in relationships

...See more So, I've been diagnosed with GAD and and adjustment disorder with elements of anxiety. As you can tell from the title, certain things in romantic relationships are consistent triggers. For example, I'm talking to this girl now, and she is incredible. She's supportive, she's kind, she's caring, and (big plus) she's very pretty. My first thought was "She's way out of my league" which turned into "I'm not good enough for her" and "She couldn't want me." This same girl is very involved (work, school, volunteering) and we don't get to talk frequently (some days not at all). When I have all this time without her I can't just sit and wait, and I text and text and text... I know that would drive anybody nuts, but I can't help myself. I'm terrified that I'm going to push her away, and I come full circle. I'm curious about how you, my peers, experience anxiety in your relationships. I think it might help just knowing that I'm not alone here.
