How to feel worthy of love when you are amxious
I am very anxious and sometimes struggle to do things that are spontaneous, dont follow social norms, or that break my personal patterns. I'm working on getting better, but when I am dealing with outside stressors or feeling busy or overwhelmed, this can get eat worse.
My partner has been the absolute best at dealing with all this and loving my weird brain whole still pushing me to improve. The only issue is whenever I slip up or feel anxious, I feel so so guilty and bad that l feel like he must hate me. I feel like it must not be good to take care of my sad, scared self, it can't feel nice when I snap or get angry when I l can't control my anxiety. It is so hard to feel like I can be loved. And I've talked with him about it, and he says he loves me just the way I am. So rationally I know the fear must be in my head.
