A Glimpse of Happiness

So I have met this guy that has started affecting me in a big way. When I talked to him all of my sadness melts away and all I can do is laugh and smile. He says he has started to have strong feelings for me but I'm scared. I really like him to and enjoy doing things with him but I don't know if it's too soon. If my depression and anxiety will eventually catch up with me and ruin things. On the other hand I don't know if I should let the chance pass? Any advice?

I think it may be wise to look at the joy this relationship is bringing you. Keep seeing any friends/family so you have a 'life' outside the relationship. If you feel you can handle the new relationship then go for it and enjoy the happy days.

I took a big risk three years ago with a new relationship and we had a ball! fun and laughter most of the time. (Sadly he had a heart complaint and I nursed him at home till he passed away) . I would not have missed it for the World and would do it all again tomorrow.
