I'm finding my anxiety is worsening lately and I think I need to deal with it by myself.
My boyfriend is one person who makes these problems somewhat disappear and I can relax with him but we're not able to see each other for a few weeks. I don't want to rely on him all the time either; I don't think that's healthy.
My issue is 'appearing happy' when we're talking - I'm finding that hard and the best solution I can think is to introduce a bit more space whilst I deal with my problems. How do I do this without him thinking something is wrong with the relationship?

Anxiety is a real pain in the ads, and I think you shouldn't have to hide it and keep it to yourself. Yes it's a lot to take in as a partner, but you should tell your partner about it. Just have a sit down and explain to him what you're going through. He has a right to know this about you. Sure it might make or break the relationship if he decides it's not gonna work out because of your anxiety, but don't keep it from him.
