I have ptsd, and I have a new boyfriend. Every time we hang out, I am so anxious the whole time, and after he leaves I have a panic attack. What tf do I do

Talk to him about it, especially if there’s anything he can do that would make you feel more safe and maybe not be in active survival mode while he’s over.

We’ve been dating for like 1 1/2 weeks. do you think it’s ok to do it over text?

And before you say anything about what if you scare him off, if he’s judgy and weird or even offended about this then that’s a red flag in general and it would be a good sign to reconsider the relationship entirely

Better not to because things can get misinterpreted. Considering that you’re anxious around him tho maybe ft would be a good option.
