Relationship Anxiety
How to handle relationship anxiety? I’m in my first one and have really struggled to keep things together. I always feel like my brain wants to go back to ruminating about something and putting my body in freeze and fawn mode.

Hi Ska,
It sounds like you are in a very situation. Nerves for a new relationship is always normal! I think it's important to decide what is causing the nervousness though. Is it strictly from it being new or something else? I think once you figure that out, your solutions will come easier.
Thank you so much for the response! There are definitely a lot of tough factors involved being long distance, parents feeling the need to control & fears, and my anxious attachment style/anxiety. I myself have tried to make my own decisions and choose what I want, but eventually seem to fall in the predicament of my family looking at my relationship and seeing my bf as a bad person overall even tho we all haven’t met in person yet. Likewise, they have their own personal beliefs and values on how a relationship should be and I’m still forming mine.
