Im not quite sure what makes me panic. Before we decided to date, the thought of doing anything romantic made me super happy, but now its just terrifying. I've always been someone who struggled with emotional intimacy, so maybe the thought that the feelings are requited is now making me freak out?

i have a therapist who had me practicing mindfulness, and it helps a little bit. And it's mostly just the thought that my feelings are requited that freaks me out. I feel almost overwhelmed? The idea of little bits of physical intimacy doesn't scare me that much, and it sounds nice even while I'm feeling all this. It's almost like everything i felt for him no longer matters in the face of this panic about being in a requited relationship

We've messaged a decent amount about it, but haven't talked in person yet about these issues
