I honestly have no idea what to do right now..
I basically have anxiety/paranoia and have done for a few years. I'm 17 and recently got a boyfriend. At first it was just little niggly things where I worried I'd said the wrong thing or made myself look stupid but tonight it got a lot worse -
my friends, who are quite bitchy and had made some rude comments about us as a couple, added him on FB and I knew in that instance they were bitching again. So I freaked out, almost hyperventilating and told him to delete them very forcefully and basically probably just looked like I'd massively overreacted.
I explained that we'd been falling out a bit recently and he was sympathetic and didn't seem too fazed by it but I'm so worried now that he's going to go off me for it
or think I'm basically just a massive freak, have second thoughts about me, etc.
he doesn't know about my anxiety and I don't want him to know, or to see that side of me, but he pretty much did tonight.
Am I overreacting? I'm just terrified of losing him and being alone and generally being in pain. Advice?
Edit: just reading this back feels stupid, I know I'm overreacting but I can't stop worrying and having this dull feeling, like things are all going to go wrong.
