why is a healthy secure relationship so FUCKING TERRIFYING. i feel like something could go wrong at any moment, i apologize for things and he’s confused, when i say no or i’m uncomfortable he stops immediately, he doesn’t hit me or demean me. why is that so scary - shouldn’t that be the norm? how is this fair to him?
i’m trying to recover from an0rexia and he makes me food and eats with me, he tells me i’m pretty, that he loves me, and somehow i’m still so scared it’ll somehow turn bad at any moment. is it a trauma response from abuse?
i feel like i’m gonna fuck this up at any moment but i’m trying so hard to just, exist, just be.
i know he truly cares, he doesn’t push me to recover but encourages it, he convinced me to go to the doctor today and talk to them to see if they can help with my dizziness/ fatigue/ nausea from not eating and to maybe open up about my eating habits.
he wants me to get BETTER. he wants the best for me. is this how it’s supposed to be?
when i told him i was sa’d he just held me. no ‘it’s your fault’ just ‘i’m sorry baby’ and a tight squeeze.
when i told him i relapsed on self harm and didn’t wanna talk about it, he said okay and just held me.
is this the norm? am i just too far gone to realize this is healthy and safe and i don’t need to question the support and think somehow it’ll turn abusive?
safe to say i’ve never been in a healthy relationship, but have i really been missing out on this for years? he’s absolutely perfect, he’s attractive, he’s sweet, he has life goals. that should not scare me.
i love him so deeply that i don’t know what i’ll do when he inevitably leaves, i’m trying to be better for him but i don’t deserve him. he deserves someone stable and kind and beautiful - someone who has goals and sees them self living past 25.
i’m so scared of fucking this up.
