Relationship and anxiety

[Sheabutter]

I just recently got into a romantic relationship with a girl. I havent dated for 4ish years, and the only person ive dated before was previously my best friend so i knew them really well. I met this girl on tinder and its been going really really well. She makes me happy but also i get pretty intense anxiety symptoms with her. I love kissing her and being romantic with her but i get so many bursts of anxiety in my chest which also triggers my health anxiety. My chest aches by the time we're done hanging out and sometimes more. My health anxiety has been way worse lately like im terrified my heart will stop or something ugh. Anyone relate or have an advice?

Are you afraid she will leave you? Many times our unresolved issues get projected into the present moment. I would not worry about your chest. That is all anxiety. Practice breathing and mindfulness activities. Learn to stay in the moment. That should help. Also, work on your past issues, whether it is from childhood or other relationships. You don't want to sabotage this one by projecting things on to her that are not based in reality.
