The page you were looking for no longer exists

I'm riddled with anxiety.   Am I making a mistake?   Should I back out while I still can?  We are moving on Friday and outwardly I've been showing anxiety and hopefulness.   I have been hoping the inside will catch up with that, but the close it gets the more panicked I become internally.  So why the anxiety.............too many reasons by far.  What if moving doesn't work and he kills himself while we are there.  What if we just don't get along.  What if he founds out I am just not who I pretend to be.   What if he decides he doesnt like who I really am after all.   What if he discovers some of the bigger lies I've been hiding.    I am not looking for advice or judgement here...I just needed to get some thoughts out in hopes it would take away some of the weight bearing down on me right now.   Is this all a sign?  I know that this is the next logical step and that things will most likely be fine but I am just panicing.  One thing I am not sure if I have really written about is that I am a commitment phobic person.   This is the first real commited relationship I've had in a long time.  I have lived with someone before and still insisted that we keep it an open relationship.  I just have problems with things I can't easily change.  I feel trapped and stuck and am worried.   Ok..........I'll calm down a bit now.  I just needed to get the thoughts out of my head.

    Aurora - I would say the anxiety is perfectly understandable, but I don't know if that offers any consolation.  I am also moving in two months and feel very anxious about it, even though it holds a welcome change.
     
    Relationships are a risk, pure and simple, but it's far more dangerous to live a sheltered life filled with the regrets of what ifs.
     
    Take your shot at this if it's what you want and see where the road leads.
     
    All the best - Wishy

    You are strong girl, just relax and breath through it.  Wishy is right, relationships are always a huge risk, you won't know until you go as they say.
     
    You never know how this path you are walking will turn out, but if you really want it to, you can make it very enjoyable and fun, use the fear/concern to motivate yourself into seeing the excitement of what you are doing.
     
    Good luck and breath!

    i hope you feel better now... i dont really know your relationship with him but i hope that you guys are ok.  just relax and be honest with him.. thats a big part of a relationship... and if he accept you for who you are then he's a keeper... ;-)

    Thank you all so much for the advice and kind words. I am trying to just relax and be positive.  I am not alternating between moment of excitement and terror.  Lol 
     
    I am going to continue down this path and see where it takes me.  I'll probably post a few pics after the move of the new place.  I let him know that I was having some anxiety issues and he wasn't shook by it all, which is good.  He is a nervous too, more so about just being able to relax and be happier than he is right now though.  He said he would have been worried about himself being anxious if I hadn't said I was.  Like something was wrong with his thinking.   It's funny but hearing him say he's going through the same thing in a way is comforting.
     
    Again I can't tell you how much the advice and positive thoughts mean to me.  Thank you for taking the time to send them my way.

    Just relax as much as possible and take one day at a time.

    Relax Auro....it seems that you're more worried about yourself than him.  Like everyone says, take it one day at a time.
