Dear Helen:

Reads like dating other men while dating him is not a good idea for you. And reads to me that you are motivated to work on your anxiety in the context of this beginning relationship, to gain some understanding as a result of it, no matter how long it lasts, so that it becomes a healthier relationship and/ or leads you to healthier relationships.

I think that practicing mindfulness is going to be a great help for you, more of it than you practiced so far. There really is not enough of mindfulness- you always see more and more, learn more as you go along. There are articles on the home page on mindfulness, under BLOG. There are many resources on mindfulness, it is a very popular topic and very much a part of modern psychotherapy (U.S., at the least).

I hope to read more from you, anytime.
